A Change of Plans

As of two days ago, when asked what I'd be doing this summer, I quickly responded with touring, visiting my family, playing lots of golf & playing softball. Yesterday my plans changed.

While I'll still be touring & going down south to visit my family, my golfing & softball has been put on hold after a trip to see Dr. Morse (an orthopedic specialist). My left knee has been bothering me off & on for the past year, but for some reason it's gotten much worse the past two weeks (it began aching, cracking & grinding alot more than "normal" & even began locking up while I was in the middle of walking). After some x-rays were taken, it was obvious that I need to have surgery to repair my left knee.

They crazy thing is that Dr. Morse will be performing the exact same surgery on my left knee on July 21st that Dr. Davis performed on my right knee back in 2002. The good thing is that it was very successful on my right knee, and it sounds like my recovery time for this surgery will be much less than for the one back in '02. I was told that if I have my surgery on Monday (which I am...just ask Ralph...hahaha!) I'll be fine to do a concert that weekend.
