So I had knee surgery Wednesday. They shaved off more cartilage and my knee was massively inflamed so they made the swelling go down. They didn't stitch it just used this wimpy glue stuff that didn't hold. Last night it busted in Spanish class. I lost enough blood I started getting woozy. God I love orange juice. I think it was the only thing that stopped me from passing out. Now my knee makes squishy sounds when I walk, it is weak, and it hurts alot. Vicodan is my only solace. Just one more darn thing stopping me from getting the Hannibal Province up and running. ARGH dumb knee.

Jagun has a point. They should have stitched something like that for sure.
Glue is not the best to use, ever.

On a knee, or any other major joint, it is typically better than stitches. Stitches have no give, and will tear out, making the wound worse than it was before. Where-as glue ussually allows the elasticty of the skin to absorb the flexing and stretching. But, it sounds like there was additional info we may not be aware of. Like for instance, too little glue used, bad batch of glue, a chemical reaction between the gleu, and possible soaps used to wash himself afterward, the typical reaction of guys to continually push the limt, and many other things like that.

I would suggest against crying malpractice until all details are acounted for, and another doctor is consulted.

The glue came undone during normal walking. Oh well life happens I'm ok.
