I feel ya... I got me one of those knees and am dreading the "procedure"....almost have the wife talked into springing for the rod holder insert though!
Man that's goona hurt!
Oh my,,I feel for you, I have at least one knee that needs remodeling...but I can still gimp around a little...hope you progess rapidly, and are back on the lake in record time!
My advice is to do your therapy faithfully! If you don't you will only be hurting yourself in the long run. For the patient, the surgery itself is the easy part. During the recovery process the ball is in your court and it is up to you to work with the therapist in order to reestablish movement and strength and keep that pesky scar tissue pushed out of the way. Use your ice bag!
Welcome back, im sure the crappie on Nimrod will be a lil happier, with you down and CA hunting they are probly out there having a festival as we speak. LOL. On the serious side Im glad your back and healing im sure you will be out there in no time.
Dave, Sorry I haven't checked on you. I Knew it was suppposed to be around 1st of month, but too much going on, and I forgot. Good luck with the therapy, and we'll see ya soon.
Your exactly right. Had both mine done. Do the exercises that the therapist leaves for you to do.. Don't Slack...Quote:

Glad to hear you are on the mend, David. I agree with luvpt, you need to really, really be diligent with the rehab. In my experience, the folks who did their rehab like it is supposed to be done had the best results on both knees and shoulders (rotator cuff surgery) so like my football coach used to say, "No pain, no gain". I know the rehab and therapy won't be the most pleasant part of your recovery but the degree of recovery is up to you. So stay after it and good luck. Looking forward to fishing some with you on Nimrod in the spring!
get well soon david, this was the right time of the year to have it done for sure, you should be ready for spring camp now!!!!!!!!
