So I went under the knife today for what my doc thought was a torn meniscus. Turns out that it was a plica in my knee that has been the bane of my existence for this last year, and from what I've learned from google this afternoon, possibly the reason I have had knee pain for the last decade or so.

With any luck, this will be the end of knee problems for me (for now)

And even better, he said I could ski (flat groomers) in ~4 weeks if I'm careful. Only question is will any hills still be open the sunday after I take the FE exam in April.
