Knee Replacement

[Big H]

I go in Monday morning for a knee replacement. It is never a good time and I have put it off long enough. I got cancelled in April because of Covid. I can't walk the hills at our property very good anymore and I really want to get out west to elk hunt someday. Hopefully I will be able to hobble into a ground blind in the backyard and deer hunt a little bit by the rut. Kristi said she will drive me to the blind and pick me up on the side by side LOL

Anyone else had this done?

Hoping for a quick recovery. I’ve had 3 knee surgeries from my adult ice hockey league days, but not a replacement. While in therapy after one of my surgeries, there was a guy there who was recovering from a knee replacement and he was riding that stationary bike like there was no tomorrow. He said it was painful after surgery but getting it moving and working hard made the recovery much faster. I’m guessing a year from now your knee pain will be a distant memory.

Good luck and speedy recovery. My FIL is getting one done in November and the other in December. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Mom had one of hers done this summer. She was diligent to do the exercises prior to surgery like they told her to do. Same thing after surgery. Stayed on top of the rehab. She is doing well. She's a tough ol bird.

I’ve had a few friends have them done, like Geezer most have had both done the same time. All were happy they had them done. They all also said they shouldn’t have waited as long as they did....
Good luck on your surgery.

Good luck Ron! Hope it gets you back to normal. My 90-year old neighbor has had like 3 or 4 knee replacements. Ol boy just keeps on ticking. He's a legend.

Best of luck.

I had both done...one 11 years ago and the other 1 year ago....best thing I ever did. No more pain...just do your therapy and you will recover with no problems....therapy is the answer!!!!

Yes exercise before surgery and rehab are the key to success - the flexibility and strength you have going in is what you will have coming out

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I’m running around here like a crazy nut trying to get everything done before Monday.
