Coach Hughes had his knee surgery successfully on Friday, Jan 11th, almost 3 months exactly after his injury at work.  The doc said the damage was a little more than he thought from looking at the MRI.  Ended up scraping away a few "fragments" and cutting out about 5% of the meniscus in the right knee.  Coach started Physical Therapy this week and the prognosis is he will be able to bicycle again, run (although no marathons probably), and walk.  No one will hazard a guess about fencing though... they say that needs to be assessed after a goodly period of pt and recuperation....  He is not back at work yet either, so, day by day.  He does hope to get back to St. Paul's on Saturday to see everyone and go out for lunch!
