My Knee Surgery Journey

I am back from a nice drive to beautiful Squamish, BC which is a half hour drive North towards Whistler from Vancouver.  Today was my 3 week post-operation visit to see Dr. McConkey (great guy and incredible surgeon!).  Dr. McConkey has done thousands of knee operations in the past 30 years!
