Two week countdown until knee replacement surgery. I am ready. Didn't expect to live this long. Desperation calls.
Already put you a reminder in my phone.
I’ll send one up for you buddy!
Getting 1 replaced or both?

one
Prayers for a full recovery. About 10yrs ago my aunt, who was 77yrs of age, had both replaced at the same time and six weeks later traveled up to visit and go to church functions with my mother. I never knew her to have a regret for doing so other than waiting as long as she did. Hopefully just doing one doesn’t cause you to walk in circles, because the old one can’t keep up with the new one. lol

Tom - a couple of years ago my bride got a new knee. The Orthopedic Surgeon scared her enough with tales of misery if she did not do the PT. She did her PT religiously and was walking on her own, no walker, no cane in less than three weeks. She stayed with the program for 6 weeks and today can out-walk me all day. Do the PT - btw: Same advice I gave Doug (M R Dux) when he had his done.
Get well quick!
OK.
I am having robotic knee replacement Jan 31 in Paris. I am ready.

Luck2ya, Tom !! I just got done (recently) with the dreaded colonoscopy, & the Doc says everything was OK (just a few small polyps). That came on the heels of a couple visits to the Dermatology Doc the last two months, for Cryosurgery on my arms/hands to freeze off some 12 squamous cell carcinoma spots, plus the excision of a keratinous horn (on my arm) and the excision of a walnut sized cyst below the trachea area of my neck. Thankfully all those spots were caught at a very early stage.
Nurse Brenda will take care of you, I'm sure ... so heal up quick and get back out there after'em !!
Brenda is a good nurse for sure. I will do fine. I have a lot of metal parts inside. ha
Souinds like u and i have similar dna.
I’m reminded of the old saying: If I knew that I was going to live this long, I would’ve taken better care of myself.

Landscapers haven’t got much done. We are having water drain issues which requires diversion of water. Landscape has changed due to new construction. Maybe all will be completed by the time I recover.

Good luck tomorrow. Everyone's pulling for you to be back on a roll in 8 weeks flat. Know you'll be glad the pain will be gone.
Yes sir... You are in everyone's thoughts & prayers. This thread will most certainly need your attention during your healing process.
You will be fine, about 5/6 weeks of recoup,
Pulling for a quick recovery...

Great news Tom. Take extreme care of yourself and don’t feel like a hero. Pain meds are your friend but keep the Metamucil close by.

Great news Mr. Tom! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Your timing should be about right for the hot crappie bite and some fit weather to give chase.
Great news. Heal up.

Still lots of swelling. Lots of icing the knee. Therapy sucks. I am on schedule with recovery so says the therapist.
