Well the Doctor said I have both a Meniscal tear, and a fractured femur bone in my right leg. He said 6 to 8 weeks of rest & relaxation, he said crutches or a cane, keep the weight off of the knee. He doesn't want to do surgery because it would make the pain worse, basically wait for the bone to heal, and wait on the Meniscal tear until then to see if it resolves itself. He also told me unless I want to put up with a lot of pain, I shouldn't go to Oshkosh. I hate to miss it, I was looking forward to the Brauts, beer, and STOL Landings. Hope you guys have fun!
