A good friend had both knees done at the same time. Two days later he told his nurse he didn't need pain meds as his knees hurt less then than any time in the last twenty years.
Hope you have a quick recovery.

Good luck on your recovery. I had a knee replacement at 58 in June of 2014. Be diligent with the PT. It sucks, but it'll be worth it. I missed hunting in '14, but had no problems this year hiking around. P.S. because of a car accident I have had both replaced over the years. It sure beats the alternative. Cheers NC

I am still in the hospital and I just had to go back to bed after a brief attempt at walking. I walked twice yesterday, but couldn't make it far this morning. We will try again soon. I have a feeling the Hernia surgery just a couple weeks ago isn't helping...

I've heard that knee replacement is a pain, but be damn if I wouldn't like to have a pair of bionic knees.
My knees are fugged up enough to make it a pain to get around, but not rotten enough to need replacement.
I'm in that "never-never" land as far as knees are concerned. One would think your fingers would be worn out considering the sheer number of mindless daily posts you make.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Congratulations on the rebuild and upgrades! The therapy, pain and annoyances are temporary. Getting it handled after you shot up the winter bunny population was smart, now you have some nice weather coming in a few months and you'll be ready to carry out Travis's Elk this fall! Nice Meds too!

Get better, Kirk,....
I'd ask for all the staples, once they're removed,...use em to decorate something, or make a hatband.

Got my knee in March of 13. Took a while to get going again but actually looked forward to therapy. The stretching and excercise made it more flexible. Now the knee is great but other problems are popping up so I'm still screwed. Old age sucks even at 61. Get well soon.

Tell your doctor that I will come over to remove all those staples when the time comes. Travis might volunteer to help.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

The nurse just pulled another taped I V out of my thigh where they had some medi-pac pain killer tube. I almost hit her when she pulled all the hair out. The tube was nothing, but the hair hurt...

They should have shaved that area before they taped it. Duh.

They call it a new knee, I call it painful... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Mobile%20Uploads/image_14.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Mobile%20Uploads/image_16.jpeg) My Dad had one done 25 years ago at age 60 back when they weren't so simple. With a lot of therapy he was better than ever. About 15 years later he had the same one replaced. Much less traumatic, much less therapy. Came out all good. Safe healing.

Get better quick Shrapnel.
A 71 yo friend came back to work a few weeks ago after a new knee. According to him, the first (and the best) thing you will notice. Each day the pain will be a bit less, rather than each day worse than the day before.
By fall, you will be giving the grouse hell.

Did I hint that therapy IS your friend?
