On September 28, Providence had knee surgery for an injury that happened in April. Her last CT Scan revealed that a bone fragment, attached to some cartilage, had broken off. She could occasionally feel the fragment get stuck within the knee joint. Surgery took close to 3 hours. The surgeon cleaned the area where the bone had broken off and then triple secured the bone back in place with darts, stitches and a fiber type of glue. Unfortunately, he could not do this arthroscopicly but had to cut into her knee. The anesthesiologist gave her a femoral block, which really helped with pain management during recovery. She is on non-weight bearing status for 6 weeks. She has handled the process beautifully!
