Well, not what I expected. I figured a bunch of "you old ****", and "while you're there, now you can get the gender reassignment done...."

So......thanks. Now I have to be nice.

BTW, Wheel.....I did get a second opinion. MRI showed a horizontal tear. Kinda bad, of the 5 options, surgery is the best choice. Probably, I will have arthritis when I get older, and probably some femur to tibia "bone on bone action", but I can't do squat now. No running, biking, weights, and walking is problematic.

I'll be down a 8-12 weeks, then all good.

But golf first.....

Is that cause every doctor, meniscus tear or injury, MRI image, etc. is the same from person to person?

Same here, but I was 50, and a whopping 147 lbs of scrawn. The disc golf after a month wasn't a problem, the shovelling after a week probably wasn't too smart though.🌫 Best of luck Fret.
