No much happening here got out of the hospital  Friday.....Thursday had  total knee procedure...kind hurting today but watching sports and youtube..

Good luck...interested in your results.  I finished the "euflexxa" three shot series a couple weeks ago...hasn't made a difference so far.
Next step is knee replacement(s) which I'm trying to avoid.  Recently completed bladder and prostrate surgery so I'm good to go with any additional hospital visits for a while

I've been taking steroids shots in both knees for about 10 Years trying not to have the total knee surgery....but when the injections work for 2-3 days or maybe longer rather than the 3-4 month timespan...I thought it was time to do the worse one.. which is the right one that I had scoped 16 years ago....surgery went good was Walking on it about 6 hrs after surgery.......the Dr said i could go home I told him no....he knew about this  at consultation... But it was still my call, stayed the night a got extra antibiotic drip ......while visiting with me after surgery. He said next 3- 4 days would be bad ...he was right everything tightens up... Have PT starting on Tuesday

Ah  heck Ed, finally had to bite the bullit and do it.  Hope you have a speedy recovery.

When my friends mom got both of her knees replaced (at once), one of her doctors told her to try sitting on a pick up tail gate and swing them,  she said that really helped with out stressing her out. One of my neighbor's across the street had both, i told him about it. He liked it. My mom did also, but one at a time.

You might ask your Dr or Pt person about that.

Hoping your recovery is quick and smooth!

When do the "Golden Years" kick in? I've been waiting a while.

Ed how is your knee coming along?  Hope all is going well.

After almost 46 years, i'm having trouble with my broke up ankle. Been giving me fits since late last summer, and somehow got a nasty infection above my screws. They got me on somekind of powerfull antibiotics, (from the 11th thru the 24th). Haven't heard back yet on the culture sample or the xray results to see if i have a "surgical hardware infection". That would suck,  it feels better and a lot of swelling and drainage down.
So.... i'm kicking back also🙂

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks ...First week was really painful my Dr. came to visit me after surgery and said the next 3 days would be bad expect to be real painful ..I thought he was exaggerating. But he was right... Then started PT was painful but now it is really helping...all in all doing good


Steve... Bonnie said hey...and hope you get to feeling better

[sammons]

Good to here Ed, stay up on the PT, (i'm sure you will). They say that is the key to good fexability and recovery.
My mom said first week was bad, and was having second thoughts of doing the other knee. A month and a half later it was so much better, she scheduled the second knee.

Thanks and tell Bonnie hey back!  Finally got lab results, Staph infection. Antibiotics should take that out. Doc says xray shows my screws have moved out of place and need removed asap🙄 I'd like to know how they all of a sudden moved after 45yrs of no problems at all.  I dug up my xray from '85, gonna take that to my next appointment to see if what she is seeing... i seen the top screw had a gap back then.  Anyway, its looking/feeling much better.
