After meeting with vascular surgeons, I met with the orthopedic team, starting around 2 am. The doctors examined my knee several times and decided to aspirated the cyst, instead of doing surgery. In my hospital bed, they gave me a shot of novacaine before sticking in a big needle to pull out the bloody synovial fluid. They pulled out 60 ccs of fluid and bandaged up my knee. There was more fluid in there,but that was the easy part to take out.
I hope it is all better now. I can't wait to go home.
Chemo is Monday.
Needle count: 34
