Going in tomorrow morning for surgery.
Tuesday, April 24, 2007 by Bones2112 | Discussion: Community
To all my friends at WC, just wanted to let you know that I will be going in tomorrow morning for double knee surgery, so wish me luck! This past year has not been too kind to me, with all the health problems that I have had, only had the time to release one skin. Terrible! Hopefully things will get better and I can get back to the business at hand, making skins. I am looking forward to everything going well, so I can get back to reading you all on the forums. You all are a part of my extended family. 
Talk to you soon.

Knee replacement? Let me tell you what happened to me on my first post op appointment. I only had Arthroscopy on my left knee and I am 39. OK so I am inching along with my walker(customized of course ) to the waiting area and I take a seat. A few minutes later a man walks toward me. He has a slight limp and is using a cane but moving quite well. To my eyes the man looks to be around 60 or so. We make idle banter, after a little while the man asks "so what you in for?" and I tell him. It is 12 days post op for me. Now I ask him the same. "oh I had knee replacement 17 days ago" (the needle scratches the record at this point).
Say What? Surprised, I asked how old he was, "76 and I feel Great!" I look at my sorry self and my walker thinking what a wus I am and he is looking at me with a big smile, telling me it was the best thing he had done.
Now I know the true meaning of being a Punk

LOL @ elvee! Thanks for relating your experiences with knee surgery. Well at least I am not using crutches or a walker, I am fortunate in that respect.
Not a problem!

Mrs starkers has to have an arthroscopy on her left knee and, according to recent x-rays, may be looking at the possibility of re-constructive surgery as the cartilage is practically non-existent and the tendons have become too lax.
One knee is bad enough, but two? I hope if knee replacements do become necessary, that you'll get one done at a time. My grandmother had both knees done at once and found the ability to walk again was prolonged because she didn't have a fully functional leg/knee to better assist in the recovery of the other. Just a thought.
