Notice 6 months since left knee replacement

[Hoopguru]

and I must say, Im amazed at what I can do pain free. I can do anything but jog and I think I could do that if I wanted. The first few months were at time challenging with mostly muscular pain as they need to fire again and communicate with your brain. I should have probably done it a few years ago as there were days I could hardly walk. My right knee gives me grief now.

Just found out today I get my right knee done November 4th and hope to be moving around real good come early spring.

Bro you should of saved it and put it in a big glass jar full of fluid and shine a light on it. Put it on some sort of spinning platform and keep it on the mantle above the fireplace!

I wish I had thought of that. Maybe my right knee?
Kind a like a life trophy or notches on the belt. That knee covered a whole lot of territory as a million mile flyer. It also, served me well playing sports well into my late 40's early 50's.
I spent many a day & night on those knees too and I was'nt saying the Lord's Prayer. Thats probably why my knees went to hell..

He gave it to Festus Ezeli or was it Greg Oden

I need a knee replacement but my doctors ruled it out because of other medical complications. Every once in a while it just goes out of joint and then I'm in excruciating pain. Then it's a week or more recovering.
Which reminds me, thank you for reminding me of the terrific pain in my knee I face at random intervals.

Sorry Lanny!

Sorry Lanny!

I want your knee, dammit. If you were a friend you'd offer it to me. It's what good manners dictates.

I don’t think you’d want this old decrepit knee.

Man, I hope you mend quick! I know from experience those hernia operations can be painful for a while.
That Oxy is for sure weird stuff!

Its a positional thing. LOL

MMM HMM

I see you two need this to be a private thread. Enjoy.

No, I want the bright, shiny new knee.

It was signed over to Brandon Roy.

I'm allergic to oxycontin and all the rest of the related pain killers. I can only take Tylenol, fentanyl, morphine and lidocaine. Which means that when I have surgery, I have to power through the immediate after and throughout the healing. It's a real bitch when they do their frequent arm surgery. God, how I dread that arm surgery. The keep me awake during that damned arm surgery as they did when I had about four eye surgeries and two heart ablation surgeries. One of the heart surgeries hurt like hell and I couldn't move a muscle to indicate my pain and one of the eye surgeries went very badly and painfully lasting about an hour and leaving me blind in that eye.

Pardon me while I puke.
I suppose you think I should have kept my cancerous thyroid gland when it was cut out and placed it in a glass jar rotating on a spindle with a light shining on it above the fireplace.

Medicare? Are you that old? I'm not voting for you as President. Damn, and here I thought you were near a perfect candidate.

 

[Hoopguru]

Man Lanny I wish you could get one, have you gotten other opinions?
Sometimes things just don't seem fair in this journey of life.

I have a artificial right eye, had it for 47 years.
When I played in a pool league and had to take a leak, id take my eye out and put it on the table rail and tell em Im going to keep an eye out for you nimrods! Ill be back.
When i lost it the doc's had me play lots of ping pong for depth perception which helped.
It never handicapped me at all and I went on to play city league sports at a very competitive level till my early 50's.

Perfectly in the middle never on the fringe one way or the other.

I only get the opinion of the VA. That and Medicare are my only medical coverage. I've got dialysis three times a week and they say I wouldn't stand up to dialysis during my intial recovery. I did get two opinions at the VA.

I had my left knee replaced 12 days ago and still can't bear much weight or have any ROM (65 degrees). I hope this gets better. My pt is torture. I leave convulsing in pain.
