RE: Knee Replacement Surgery
Good luck, sounds like some people have some good advice for you, including having a great weekend prior to going in.
Heal well, we'll be here when you get back.

RE: Knee Replacement Surgery
Hope all goes well...My wife just had knee surgery and is doing very well she can bend her knee more then she could in the last 20+ yrs.But they said it might not last,then she will need a replacement done........
REHAB is the key....Most people that need knee and hips redone is because they dont do rehab.........
Let us know tues or Wed........Good luck.......

RE: Knee Replacement Surgery
I had partial knee replacement March 29 of last year . I did the rehab and everything the therapist told me to do . Got a nice shiny piece of Titanium for a kneecap and a shiny lag bolt to go with it . It's still tender to kneel on but it is sooooooooo much better than it was before the surgery ! I can get up and down from my treestands and drag deer . No pain - No gain !

RE: Knee Replacement Surgery
I'll say one thing; I had mine done sept. 19 th. and returned to work dec.11 th. of 2006. the rehab was rough but, ya have to grin & bear it.
The replacement I have is good too 120 degrees, I'm at about110:!! but , i have no pain doing so.(what a relief) I plan on useing my climber on a bear hunt this spring. Push as far as you can stand , then go a little more each day until you reach the max. the feeling is kinda weird, but it will improve. If you need a coach or someone to bitch too . send me an e-mail. Best of luck. GB50

RE: Knee Replacement Surgery
I want to thank all you for your encouragement, i got home from the hospilal thursday mar. 29 and am doing good. I can move around and do about anything I want with the walker, but I can tell its going to be a long, hard, road. I hate to even think of going through this without my wife she is a godsend.
