One more time

[Fjold]

I just had my left knee replaced last August after seven previous surgeries and it is amazing how much better I feel. After living on pain pills for the last fifteen years it's a huge relief not to need them now.

My knee felt better on the second day after the operation than it did in the previous fifteen years. I went back to work at my desk job seven days after my operation and didn't take a pain pill until I started physical therapy.

Here's to a smooth procedure and a quick recovery!

Ditto what Bobby said, Sir!

Good luck! Maybe it's a good excuse for the wife to buy you an iPad while you're sitting on the couch.

You weren't kidding when you said that you were dealing with alot of physical damage from work! Here's to a speedy recovery, and maybe we can get some pics of that PT shirt collection haha.

I was sitting here wondering how retired is doing. I am wishing him well.

Again, good luck to you sir.

Best wishes Retired.
Here's to you being able to take a nice dump as soon as possible after coming off the meds.

My Evil Italian Mother-in-Law just had her's done at 81, she's playing bocci ball already. If she can do it, you can too! Good luck, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

That is probably the most tender comment made

Best wishes on an easy recovery for you. My father in law had both knees done at the same time. He was up walking in a week and after two months he was good to go. He suffered wsith bad knees for about 20 years. He said that he should have done it a long time before. He got his quality of life back. Good luck and hope your up and around quickly. You know how messy it gets around here when your not around to set them straight.

Have you considered Synovial Fluid Replacement? You might want to talk to your doc about it.

I've had the Orthovisc injections and it didn't do anything for me but make it hurt more. It was a series of three weekly injections and you can feel the pressure inside the knee as he doc is injecting the fluid. It was the worst shot I've ever had. It's supposed to provide relief for up to a year but it didn't provide squat.

Good luck Retired and hope that you get well very soon. I also need a knee overhaul and some other over hauls around the corner due to brutal duties.

I'm looking at that down the road since a Jet Ski accident shredded half of the meniscus and as you know it just gets worse with age. Hope you have a speedy recovery and breeze through the process.

Hope your recovery is quick and smooth, friend. Will be good to see you again.

I guess the lack of relief is common. Same results for my mother.

Sorry to hear about your knee troubles... I seriously hope the surgery will be beneficial and relieve your knee pain...

+1 on the after surgery crap too!!!
