merely a novise in that field.Rigtht now i've got a busted knee so no running in the forest but a lot of time to be online.

Well welcome to the Forums - sorry to hear about your busted knee - ouch!

Oh no! Poor thing with your knee!

-5* *shudder*

Welcome perroja - lovely to have you join us.

Here's a big welcome from California, perroja! I am sorry to hear about your knee; it must be very painful. I've dislocated both of my knees several times, so I have some understanding of the pain you are experiencing. I hope it gets better!

Welcome to our forums. I will be having lunch on 12th with a friend from Finland - but I don't know which part.

Hello perroja, welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear about the knee it must be really painful.......it gives you plenty of time to get addicted to this site though

Hi perroja

Welcome to FunTrivia. I don't know how many people we have from Finland, but we have a lot of dog lovers. Be sure to enjoy yourself.

Cheers

Welcome perroja, I can't think of anyone here from Finland so you may be our first, at least in the forums. Have fun and hope the knee gets better soon

Hello, Perroja. Welcome to the forums.

Welcome!

Welcome to another dog lover. I hope you enjoy your time here at FT, and that your recuperation from a busted knee (ouch) is made a little better by joining in the fun.

Hi everyone
Thank you for the welcoming words.
Today I got the results from the the Xray(They stuff you in a tube,and keep you there for about 30-40 minutes)dont know the english name for thatsort of a scan:Called a magnet scan in finnish.Anyway the anterior ligament and both meniscs broken.So I'll need an operation.Well I already suspected that before getting the results.The good thing about it all is that we got a puppy 2 weeks ago.He's now 9 weeks old and it has been fun watching the older dog and the puppy becoming friends,little by little.It is amazeing how the old dog(2 1/2 years of age)can
treat the little one so gently although
the pup is a bit of a rascal.They are spanish waterdogs both.
The winter is relly on its been between
-15and -25 degrees the past few days.
But spring is soon here,my favourite time of year,when everything wakes up again.

Welcome to the forums, perroja! I hope funtrivia can be a place that will help your recovery go faster because you have so much fun here!

HI aramis
Yes MRI is the correct medical term for the procedure over here also.
Having the got the results of mine,I went to see a specialist on monday.He relly made my day,saying that no major operation is needed.The ligaments where only partially broken so he said that they will heal just fine.A piece of the menisc maybe need to be removed but that's just a minor procedure.The problem just now is that because of the pain an the swelling,the knee is quite stiff,also a lot of the quadriceps muscle is gone.So I'm meeting with a physiotherapist 2times a week to get some ,help with reegaining the mobility
in the joint.Also need to train the muscles back in shape.But in all,the near future is looking much brighter than two weeks ago.I.m relly looking forward to beeing able to go on training with my dog.I.ve trained him for almost two yers now and the goal for this season is to táke part in our first rescue test.We train to look for
people who are lost .Maybe someday we can do some good in a real situation.
