Round 8 of PT Friday, this was a little rough, I felt stiff & not as fluid as before. Perhaps some of the different exercises & lengthened stretches, perhaps also the Iovera nerve block beginning to wear off. All I know is it is a tad depressing, but, I have to again remind myself I am still...

Now $5.19 per gal for reg unleaded & all others following suit. This has to stop.......

I wish you all the best in that procedure. I am certain you will feel so much better after it is all said & done. I know what bone on bone & spurs feel like & for those that don't, "It SUCKS". Your quality of life will be dramatically improved. I wish the best for you.

Round 7 of PT, All is continuing in the right direction, increased straightening, in fact that is now between 1 & 0 & bending to 121 deg. I'm told that is pretty good considering I am only a hair over 3 weeks post-op. I am encouraged but also at the same time still have to constantly remind...

Lucky Man! That was a big Kangaroo....

I would lock in as soon a possible considering the on-going increases with everything. I don't see it going down in price, but thats just my .02.

Today, at $5.00 per gal for reg unleaded, $5.39 midgrade, $5.49 Premium, $5.76 Diesel. This is Insane!!!

Round 6 of PT yesterday. All is going well so far. Increased straightening & bending. I was told that the pop was most likely one of the internal stitches that released as there are no other signs of weakness in the joint. This is a timely process, though I have to say I feel pretty good. I have...

Happy Birthday. Hope your day is a good one!

Good to hear! Thanks for the info.

I liked them both as well, wish they still made them that way.

Anybody heard from Brian lately? Haven't seen any posts from him in some time, maybe with the site issues he gave up for a while? I miss his posts, I hope all is well.

I'll bet there are a bunch that are asking themselves, wtf is he talking about? It would be a hoot to watch someone drive a car or truck with the dimmer switch on the floor, they would most likely yank the blinker arm off the steering column. LOL!

Despite the rising cost of fuel, folks at this point are willing to take the hit at the pump because they want to get out & about after the craziness caused by the length of the pandemic. With the start of summer upon us, travel seems to be of great importance & traditionally, fuel costs stay...

I had round 5 of PT on Tuesday, all went well, though I will say that during one of my home exercises that morning (heel slide) I felt a pop. It was disturbing to say the least, now tender on the left side of the knee when I draw it back. I hope it was just one of the internal stitches letting...

Doing everything he can to keep us all in termoil. What a grand administration! Growing to be the longest nightmare ever.

All went well at the 2 week follow-up. Bandage removed, everything looks good there as well. Doc says my ability to bend & straighten are right where they expected me to be at this time. I will continue with PT & home exercises as recommended & try to expand my daily activity a little at a time...

Not on your end, this has been a problem for too long. I have a feeling that many members are not even bothering to try anymore due to the infrequency of availability. I sure hope they can get to the bottom of it once & for all & soon.

Good solid & sensible advice grub. Thank you for that. I have always pushed myself & now realize that I have been pushing harder due to the physical limitations I have had for the last 3 years. I will try harder to not try so hard.

Right you are, I have been off of the opiate meds for 2 days. I drove myself to PT for round four this afternoon, got scolded for not bringing my cane in. I tend to push myself, sometimes. I personally feel no real value to it, when I walk, I walk upright & heal to toe. I probably should just do...
