[X] My Assistant

[dvandorn]

Hi, all... as I may have mentioned earlier, I had a knee surgery scheduled for today. Just a relatively simple arthroscopy to remove and trim back a couple of very badly torn meniscii that were causing a *lot* of pain.

All went well, I'm back home and parked in front of my computer for the next three or four days.

I'm also under the influence of some pretty powerful pain meds -- oxycodone, to be specific -- and while I feel completely rational and all, and while I'm sure my posts will make as much sense as they ever did, I just wanted to give a very brief explanation in advance, just in case...

Recently there were many remote surgical operations. The patient in the other side with robots arms and camera and the doctors in the other sides with a big panel with powerfull zoom and a pair arms with access to all surgical instruments with the help of technicians which are in the surgical room.

I think that this would be the probably extra-planet medical attention to the astronauts.

By the way, I hope you will start to progress in everyday and will start to feel even confident that you are going to be able to walk good again.
