The Doc said I may stand a chance at only a partial knee replacement...he won't know for sure till he opens the hood to check! I'm heading in shortly for pre-op...surgery @7:30 am est. Thanks gang...your the best! No cell phones in hospital so I'll post in a couple of days with update!

RodandStaff Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Sandfly gang...from the bottom of my heart! The Doc opened up my knee and said a partial knee replacement would do it! So the bottom line...the recovery time could take nearly as long as a full replacement but it should have a more natural feel to it! They had me walking the halls the day of surgery and doing physical therapy the next day! I'm sure it's the pain meds but pray I don't overdo it cause I'm prone to that! Thanks again gang...all of you are much appreciated! Edited September 29, 2017 by RodandStaff 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodandStaff Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Sayin' goodbye to Baltimore! 9 day trip coming to a close. Dr. says everything looks great...I'm sure my secret weapon (aka DVer's thoughts and prayers) was the biggest part. 😉 Now I just have to stick to the physical therapy and learn the balance of not pushin' too hard! I'm hoping I can turn around in 2-3 months and get the second knee done. Once again "Sandfly" for all y'all's support...if there is one thing I have learned...it's we need one another! Luv Y'all!!!
