Had my left knee replaced.

[383man]

Just wanted to say I have not posted in a bit because I had to have my left knee replaced on March 19th as it got so bad the bone was pushing the skin about a 1/4 to 1/2" out. I am now doing good as of 2 weeks I am walking good with a cane and can drive my Caravan. Not ready just yet to climb over the rollbar in my 63 but should be in a week or two. Ron

You know Ron, that cars deteriorate quickly when not driven! I’ll take one for the team and keep your car in shape while you heal. I'll be down from NJ in just a couple of hours with a trailer.

Get well (not so soon)!

Best wishes for speedy recovery! Im not there yet but someday im sure. Friend of mine had both done at same time, yikes. Dr’s said pay attention and only do what you’re supposed to dont push it. He pushed it and had to have 1 redone! So be careful!! Take it easy!!

Probably don't have to tell you this - but make sure you do all the rehab they tell you to do. Good luck and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Wishing you a very fast recovery. I’m probably looking at a new left knee sometime in the future.

Healing will happen. The nerves will regenerate to give the signals and the muscles will grow from the demand asked of them.

I lost the ability to drive my cars that have clutches for a time from a pinched nerve in my back. Without surgery (for my example) I regained the ability I lost.
Do not sit in the chair and wait to heal (listen to the doctors). It could take months but our bodies do respond to what we ask of them.

Hope your recovery goes well Ron.....so you can get back in the saddle again.

Happy healing! Ask your PT if they have speed-shifting exercises.

THIS IS IMPORTANT !!! And keep doing the re-hab therapy daily--even after they turn you loose. I didn't keep up with it , and now 14 months later, I am still having trouble getting up from a chair and walking distance. .........................MO
