Thread: Going under the knife!

Will be thinking of you. As said, the physical therapy is of utmost importance.

Good luck and Swift recovery!

Indeed, you are fortunate! The advise given is awesome! Looking forward to seeing positive results, now..
Follow through! You shall be a new man!

Thanks one & all! Three weeks out from the surgery & doing well. Doing the rehab much closer to home at the Danville IL. VA. The guy running the gym asked me what I wanted to do for my 8 weeks. I told him to kick my butt. I not only want to get my knee going but get in shape & lose 50 Lbs. He said the 50Lbs might be a tall order but I am dropping pretty well. Great group of Vet's in my class & we all help each other out. That means a lot to me. I will probably wait 4 to 6 months to get the left knee done but this knee has gone great so far.
Thanks so much to you all! I really mean that!

Thanks for the update. Best wishes.

Do exactly what your PT tells you to do and you'll be fine.


Been there...done that:
Right knee replaced: age 33

Currently 46....I'm as good as I ever was....... (once).


I will, of course, keep you in my prayers.
