2nd opinion is in...

2nd verse same as the first - except for a longer predicted recovery time. Awesome.
The attached image shows a little drawing of my knee... the crescent shape on the left is my meniscus viewed from above. The tear is not visible from the top view - but would be visible from the side. I'll post some images from my MRI later this afternoon.

The Cardiologist appointment is set for Tuesday the 25th - just prior to my pre-op appointment.
