But ... since the knee is a replacement, can't I just pick it up? :xzqxz:

Just don't let him charge you book hours...

So all those DIY videos on Utube are just a waste of time?

How do you think the Surgeons learned their trade.....Especially the ones with the diploma hanging on their wall from The University of Guadalajara...

Best of luck Al. I know allot of people that were glad that they had that done. Most wish that they had not waited so long.

Good luck with your new knee

Sorry for being tardy replying. Been really busy getting "ready for the surgery" Trying to get all the "stuff" winterized, swamp cooler, irrigation, etc. Also had a friend help me repair a weak spot in the floor of my bedroom, cleaning the bedroom (organizing) so I can move the bed and make more room to get to the rest room (don't want to trip with the walker).

Add to that, my hot tub pump died and I spent some time tracking a replacement down (old tub with an obsolete pump). My buddy is coming over tomorrow to help install the pump and help with the winterizing.

It's amazing, the knees were pretty good until the temp dropped around the first week of September. Since then, the right one (first to get replaced) has been very painful. Good news, I only have just under two weeks till the surgery. The left one seems to be getting worse too, although, it might be the strain on the left from the weird gate I've developed.

I'm not particularly worried about the surgery (I've had 9 knee operations already), but, I guess I am getting anxious to see how much better I feel after recovery and if I can walk "normally" after.The right one is so bad, that the bones have actually worn together and made a new socket. The problem is the "new" socket is not where it should be, so, I walk like a drunken sailor (no flaming please, I was one for twenty years, sailor, not drunken ). My right leg moves in an arch instead of swinging straight. Not a pretty sight watching a fat guy waddle .. :AGGHH:. Anyway, I'll be glad to get it done.

I really appreciate all the kind thoughts and would really appreciate your prays on the 13th .. I've already started praying.

Count on that ... I was bummed I missed this year.

Okay, last week was the last of the "prep" and "consult". Definitely scheduled for Monday the 13th at 07:30. Gotta be there by 06:00 ... :AGGHH:

Hardest part is gonna be getting my mom up intake to take me ... LOL. She only recognizes one 6:30 a day, and it isn't am.

Doctor says to figure 1.5 days to 3 days in the hospital ... I'm planning on 1 ... ... but then, I like disappointments.

Starting Monday the 6 week countdown to the second one starts. If this keeps up, I might be forty again real soon .. LOL

Ok Fuzzy, now that you got all your after surgery rehab info, you will have till April to prove yourself :Shrug: I walk like Eigor due to spine problems for the last 50 years, that takes a toll on my hips. Knees are ok.

So take it for what it’s worth and listen to the rehab advice,, I’ll take care of your pup while your healing . Good luck.

.When I had my knee replaced, I went in on Friday morning, Surgery at 10:00 AM. Got discharged on Sunday after being able to walk a hundred yards. Went back the following Friday for a look see. Started therapy on Monday. Went back the following Friday and had the staples removed (all 32 of them). Finished therapy when I had 118 degrees of movement.
