Stretched.

Problems with the Graft

After surgery, the body attempts to develop a network of blood vessels in the new graft. This process, called revascularization, takes about 12 weeks. The graft is weakest during this time, which means it has a greater chance of stretching or rupturing. A stretched or torn graft can occur if you push yourself too hard during this period of recovery. When revascularization is complete, strength in the graft gradually builds. A second surgery may be needed to replace the graft if it is stretched or torn.

My physiotherapist examined my knee and told me my knee did feel looser than before, but not to the extent that it is torn. However, she says I should see an orthopedic if I feel knocking the knee (which I do ) to be sure.

Sigh.

I will see the general doctor on campus this coming Wednesday, get a referral letter to Queen’s Mary Hospital.

My dear knee will have to wait until C++ and D&M projects are over.

This is killing me.
