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...

Thank you for asking, Yes, site availability is still & hit or miss issue, as such I will take advantage of it right now. I'm doing OK, I had my third round of PT yesterday afternoon. I am now free of the walker, therapist tells me I am ahead of the range of motion expectation at this stage of...

Thank you guys, I had my 2nd round of PT this afternoon, again, preliminary speaking, headed in the right direction, just wish the swelling would decline at a rate greater than it has. I am trying to be patient, this is what I need to overcome. I don't want too fast, nor too slow, learn as I go.

Physical Therapy is at our local Hospital, my wife is able to leave work for a spell to bring me, her work is real close to the Rehab Center, so it works out for now. I hope to be able to drive myself in a couple of weeks. Right now the PT is stretching & conditioning, nothing harsh, but...

First day for physical therapy yesterday, feel kind of rough this morning, but, no pain no gain, I guess. So far so good in the healing department. Looking forward to putting this behind.

Thank you for that advise. I will try to stay on top of the pain med better. I'm disappointed that I couldn't proceed with the mobility that I was able to do on Saturday. I'm not getting down on myself, more like kicking myself for pushing too much too fast. Lesson learned! I don't have staples...

Today is rough. I believe I may have over done it yesterday. I need the walker today, very sore, & quite swollen. I do recall being told its going to get worse before it gets better but I didn't think it would get like this considering that I was doing so well yesterday. I sure hope it doesn't...

I realize that this is very early to say, but, last night I slept better than I have in the last 3 weeks, primarily driven by my anxiety about this. I think now I have passed the procedure portion that has had a lot to do with it. I realize going forward there will be more stiffness & discomfort...

Surgery went well, I was in at 11:30 a.m & out at 2 p.m. The knee ached for a short time after, but tolerable. The pain medication does help to keep it at a better level. I am able to gingerly walk about the house without the assistance of the walker this morning. I feel better than I expected...

I've hiked up that animal, it really is pretty terrifying. Ski flyers are nuts IMO.

Mothers Day a long time ago, not into June though, at least not that I can recall.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there. May your day be relaxing & the love be shared.

uperjim, excellent information. Your "partial" replacements sound exactly like the replacement procedure I am having done except this is called a "full" replacement. My surgical consult was exactly the procedure you explained & also done on an outpatient basis. They have you up & walking with...
