It was about a 20-minute procedure, exactly what they were looking for. They went in there and cleaned the meniscus out and didn't find anything in there. The joint surface looked good. |
It's a nice surprise, ... Even the possibility is nice to think about. Certainly I would like to see it in Smyrna. It makes sense with their flight operations at the Smyrna Airport. It would be nice for them to look at the airport property where a business park is going to be. |
