Knee day

Recommended Posts

At 12:30 today the surgeon will remove my left knee and replace it. So if you light candles,  or pray, or open a can or bottle of spirits for such occasions, I would appreciate a tad of help.

Best of luck to you.  My uncle had his hip replaced a few years ago, my stepmom just had her knee done, and a colleague had his shoulder replaced a few months ago.  Meaning joint replacement, although nothing to sneeze at, is getting to be common practice, so the Sawbones have it down.  I'll still use the occasion to have a touch of the Glenmorangie I have stashed away in honor of a speedy recovery, if you don't mind...

 I, too, will select option 3.  Today is the easy day.  Tomorrow it gets a little tougher.  When the PT person gets  to you in the a.m. you will need to get up and walk.  It's easier than you think.

After all the therapy and you are up and running you will wonder why you waited so long as I did. This was the best thing I ever did. I have to take a different approach to things I do know but the pain I endured is completely gone. Isn't modern medicine GREAT. You will be happy you finally did this. Buy the way I had both of mine done at once.

@pflaming Glad you're doing so well!! My GP and an Ortho surgeon said I need my right one replaced but I've been too chicken to go through with it. Plus I'm sure I won't be able to kick start a motorcycle afterwards. All you guys' experience makes me not dread the inevitable so much.
