Damage to knee cartilage pads (menisci)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I have a problem with the cartilages in one of my knees; damage to the cartilage pads (menisci), for which my doctor has recommended surgery. He assures me that in about 20 days I could be playing football again.
I work part time for a British charter company and I am not due back at work until the middle of May. I hope to have the operation around the 20th of March.
I would like to know of the experiences of any pilot licensed by the UK CAA. For example, do the CAA stipulate a minimum time off work after the operation? I would have almost two months.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
GMS
