Jane Fonda: Undergoes knee-replacement surgery
The Oscar-winning American actress Jane Fonda has undergone surgery to replace her left knee on Tuesday.
Right before her operation Fonda blogged about her surgery.
In a blog entry titled "So Long Old Knee", on her Web site, the 71 year old Fonda wrote that her knee joint was to "be sawed out and in its place will go a titanium rod and ceramic joint".
In her blog, Fonda admitted that it had been "a strong, faithful knee" throughout her life. She wrote, "It's gotten me up a lot of steep mountains and across rugged terrain. For years I ran on it and skied. I am remembering the girlhood scabs from falls off my bike. The splinters and bruises. The kisses too".
Fonda even wrote, "Drugs just starting to hit. Wheeee. So long left knee. You're toast!"
