Cut my knee out already!

Happy thoughts and for the up coming.

 

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers Riding & everyone else!
Yes, 5 days and counting....this coming Monday is the big day.
Will, you better have a few beers for me & some of that potent clear grain homemade stuff too. I more than likely will be in a drug induced coma, lol....

I ve been busy doing as much as I can. Moved the bedroom down into the family room. This weekend I am going to Americade in Lake George, NY.
My last harrah on the bike for the season, but I will come back with a vengence!!
Probably increase my post count on here too....once the drugs wear off...

 

Be thinking about you on Monday Judy. This will be the best thing you have done for yourself in a long time. Enjoy the Vicodin!

 

Good thoughts coming your way .

 

Good luck Judy, follow the Drs. orders and please do not rush the healing process. Let your family do all the house work!

 

Thanks Dave, yes it is all good & understand it will be tough but staying positive! The drugs will help lol....

Thanks Kristin, it means a lot!

Thank you Dan! yes my surgeon is awesome & have faith so I will do my part. My family & friends are super which helps a lot & brings me comfort. Truly blessed in my life today. Good folks here help too!

 

The toughest part will be the doing of nothing, it drove my 68yr old grandmother nuts.

 

Hey Jude, don't wait for the drugs to wear off before you come back. We wouldn't mess with ya too bad..................

Have a safe and fun trip this weekend!!

 

Good info Luke, you have been there & will try to keep from going stir crazy

Thanks Ben!!! Yes will see what I can post up once I am under the "influence" since I don't smoke, drug or drink.
Thanks for the well wishes.

 

Today's the day.Happy thoughts Judy. <--How about some birch beer?

 

Hey Judy, hope everything went well. Just thought it was kind of wierd, you started this thread exactly 1 year to the day of your surgery. Hope to see you on here when you feel up to it.

 

Hey Judy, hope your doing well!

Denis

 

Hey Judy, come and visit and let us know how you are...................looking forward to the update.


Dave- good observation

 

Hi Judy just wondering how did it go?? I've got knee pain on my left knee and I know how frustrating it is. I tore my ACL 8 yrs ago on a Sunday and that same week on Thursday my wife gave birth to our baby girl (who is now 8 yrs old.) and mind you we had a 2 yr old boy running around (first born) So there we all are in the hospital, wife C-section, me with a blown knee, new born, and a 2 yr. old. I can look back know and laugh but it was real hard. My sister moved in for three months, my friends came to cut my 1 acre yard on weekends, my mom and mother in-law did breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was always someone there for us. And I'm hopeing that someone is there for you!!!
Godspeed Judy,
We are all waiting for an update on your surgery........

 

I talked to Judy and she came back and was reading and gonna post until she read rob's post^^and the drugs hadn't worn off yet and she forgot where she was and was confused and went back to sleep still holding her computer mouse..............nah, just messin' Rob.........I think I'm lost though.

 

Thanks for the update Ben.

 

Can't wait to hear back and hope you are feeling fine.

 

Looking forward to hearing how you made out Judy. Absolutely everyone I know that has had a knee or hip replaced has said the same thing -- "I wish I had done it sooner". A tough road ahead with recovery/rehab but you'll be glad you did it. Thoughts and prayers coming your way!

 

....................Can't wait to hear from Judy, hope all is well lady.

 

Thanks Rich I would love some birch beer! I baaaack!

Thanks Dave, yes on the mend...when can I drive?

Thanks Denis, yes I feel good, its great to be home!

Hi Ben, yes Dave is pretty observant. I did not even realize that!

Thanks Rob, glad to hear you had great support during your surgery time! Yes my family and friends are super & I am truly blessed! I loved your story about your family & friends pitching in during your time of need. Thanks for your kind words! All is good!

Did you hide my vicodin again Ben? lol

Thanks Kristin! Things are looking up.

Yes I can so I understand that now! Thanks for the thoughts & prayers!

Thanks everybody for the thoughts and prayers.
I officially have a new Stryker implant in my left knee!!
It feels good for only being less than a week out. Already walking w/ my walker, climbing some stairs & have 75 degrees flex, and at zero straight out, and am willing to be patient with my recovery & follow the rehab plan completely.
My surgery started at 3 pm EST Monday 6/14 and was done an hour & half later. By Weds. I was discharged and home! My doctor and his staff were/are awesome, the absolute best & believe they were channeled to by the Grace of God as well as all the other amazing angels in my life today. My at Home Physical Therapy has already started & will get my staples out next weds.
And yes you do get some loopy drugs too fwiw. Made me a tad
Here is a before pic of my knee next to its good one.

Me after surgery with happy drugs....where did I park my truck & where is Simon???????????
