Knee replacement

Sounds like you need a younger woman to chase around the house.

No thanks, don't need a heart attack too!:xzqxz:

Well, I got a bit over enthusiastic the other day and decided to go sans cane for almost the whole day.

Sorry to say, I paid for it big time. Pain pill and ice was in order. Day and a half later it feels a h@ll of a lot better again. I suppose I can't shorten the estimated 6 months recovery time.

(Friend of mine told me that I was dumb for not using the ice in a glass of Scotch instead! ) And I had to eat crow with the wife also for overdoing it.

Ah well, don't push things too fast, I guess.

Sorry to hear of your pain in recovery, Jim. Things will get better.

Not making light of your situation however, a couple of "old" cliché's come to mind:

* "This too shall pass"

* "Slow and steady wins the race"

Have you been able to ride your trike yet? Somehow, the thoughts of riding helped me get back "in the wind" faster after suffering mobility issues.

Need a bit more strength in the leg to use the kickshifter. I'm getting there. Stationary bike helps alot.

Jim, you are slowly on the mend.

Just take it easy and do it naturally.ThumbUp

The healing will come.

You will get there. It simply takes time. I speak from experience.

The wife has had both knees replaced. Sept and Dec, back to back. The therapy sure was hard, but just one day she was pretty much able to do what she wanted to do. There's a few things that are out of the question, but she no longer has pain and is happy when we are on the trike. Jim
