That damn knee

Well, I had my final follow-up with my orthopedic surgeon today. In summation:

I probably will never walk any real distance comfortably again. Walking is now no longer part of my exercise schedule.
Got a new knee x-ray. There is pretty much no cartilage whatsoever in the inside part of my right knee. No wonder it hurts to stand still for any length of time! Or, you know, walk.

When I told him about Comic Con he wished me the best of luck...I'll have to plan my activities very carefully to minimize huge amounts of walking.

sigh.
