To ref, or not to ref

[gtwbam]

Had Meniscus surgery this year in Feb 2010. 11 days after surgery my Dr. needed to drain excess fluid from my knee. (This sometimes happens when there's a meniscus tear and what they call a Bakers Cyst). I then started physical therapy. Went 3 to 4 times a week over a period of 6 weeks. My knee has held up great. I still exercise it and where a brace off and on. Good Luck.

If you are planning on being in that area for a while, I would pay my dues. If you are unable to work, I would still attend meetings and try to help out.

Certainly hope you recover and are able to get back on the floor this season!

I find it intesting how due dates vary for each board. My board requires dues paid by existing members for next year by the spring meeting in mid March.

Ours is the same way, except we pay by April for the next season.

Ours are due the first week in October.

Going in 8/20 for meniscus scope. It's been torn for a few years but is getting worse. I did alot of ball this summer and would have good and bad days, but overall, it's not very bad, just needs cleaning out according to my doc. I'm thinking I'm just about fully recovered by October. Am I dreaming? It helps I'm in decent shape, thin(6' 170), without any previous knee problems.

That said, I had two stents put in back in March..........like having your oil changed.

Had a small tear 6 years ago that Doc decided would not require surgery. It took forever to heal, by forever I don't think the pain has ever gone away. Now I ref with the aid of my good friends Advil and Tylenol and knee support. If you have an option get the surgery you will be back up and on the floor in 3months and probably close to 100% in 6 months depending on severity of tear.

Pay - and explain your situation. If you can't work by the time games start, ask if they would pay a little for newbie evaluations - and stick with the clinics.
