I’ll be 62 10 days before my surgery. Up until Labor Day weekend I was biking 10-12 miles at least 4 times a week. Now, I’m in a lot of pain but doing 5 miles 6 days a week on an Echelon Spin Bike. Not able to push like I was before the final damage was done Labor Day but better than not biking...

My original knee guy said the same thing, until he saw the xrays 3 years apart, finally agreed to get er done!

I was thinking about this as my surgery is December 30th, avoiding sugar is going to be an epic struggle lol! It’s awesome to hear about your success with eliminating sugar, that will help motivate me!

That is what I like to hear! I can't wait to go for hikes etc.

Thank you very much! I get the gut though the pain to keep it strong I have been doing 20 minute power rides on my spin bike, hurts like hell but I know it will pay off during recovery!

I have a highly recommended surgeon locally, I have a great resource who knows all the local surgeons, he sent me to what he felt was the best.

It is unbearable right now and I need to be on my feet for my job. I would have had it done already but I am on blood thinners due to getting a couple stents this past June, I had 99% blockage of the Widow Maker, discovered while cycling, sudden change in my output numbers. My cardiologist would...

I am 61, I will be 62 when I have the surgery. Up until Labor Day weekend I was able to bike 10-12 miles at least 4-5 times a week, keeping the muscles active to help recovery, in theory anyway. The one thing I have heard over and over was do the rehab soon and often, that is my plan as I really...

I spent three weeks in the Milwaukee Burn Center, doped up on morphine and Percocet, the worst part was the constipation lol

Excellent point! I keep trying to ride my spin bike to keep the muscles in tact to help with the recovery but it is getting hard to do, it really hurts right now, bad!

I am getting a total knee replacement December 30th and was wondering if anyone here has before, if so, do you think I will be able to trail ride mid to late February? I am a huge bicycler and my doctor said I will be back on it hard in 6 weeks, so I assume I will be able to ride a sled...

I live in Greenville too, were you on School road growing up, for some reason I thought you did years ago and I would look for you out in the field behind the homes.

I think they have become very pricey for what you get there! I think the Drift Inn, in DePere is as good and half the price. Gary, if you have never had the Tenderloin Steak sandwhich at the ICU, go there, it is amazing!!! $12.99, the steak hangs off the bun and melts in your mouth! We go there...

There is a kid on Facebook, probably 16 years old, that John would have absolutely adored! This kid has a following that is truly amazing, somehow I hope their paths crossed at some point. I won't mention names as that is not important right now, I just know John would have loved this kid, his...

The part about talking to him even though he doesn't understand is a good one! I was a drug dog handler in the USAF, these were highly trained dogs that were trained not only to detect narcotics but to track, scout and controlled attacks. I had a dog in Turkey, he was a mean sob, when I first...

Three place V-nose and we always load front to rear, easier to arrange them when they are at the widest part of the trailer and very easy to nurse them out when they are warming up.

His flame burned bright throughout his life on earth, may he rest in peace.

It is 6:55am CST on Thursday and he is on now, at the discussion board landing page, eating what appears to be cereal or oatmeal lol?

I met ole Peppy at a Tittie bar, north of Wausau years ago, he was a hoot! I couldn't figure out why all the strippers were hanging all over him until I found out who he was lol! He honestly was a very interesting guy, we discussed the operation and shared stories about the technology of the...

I was a K-9 handler in the USAF, what a great time I had working with and training the attack, drug and bomb dogs!
