Since Joe got the knee injury, he has suspected the need for surgery.
Although many love to just obey the doctors blindly (and many times you must), I still believe that the body has been made with certain capacity for self healing and if given the chance and the proper time and tools (nutrition, rest, therapy, meditation), the results could be many times better that those promised by the "scalpel" or a laser.
Joe: do not let them cut yet, there is more that one solution to any problem!!!! you got injured dancing, now heal your self dancing some more, like with allergies, you get rid of them by exposing yourself some more
