50+ thread

How long were you off work with the first knee? A coworker had bilateral knee replacement last summer and was off for 14 weeks. Currently I am attempting to make the lubricating shot (monovisc) suffice until I have enough leave saved. It's rough some days, probably not as rough as your pain.

 

Best wishes for your recovery.

 

We’ll certainly glad to see ya back! I hope it keeps improving for you

 

Hello ladies and gents! Geez your a post-a-lot bunch! I cant keep up! If I'm gone a few days, Im wayyy behind. Anyway. Hope everyones well. Im headed off to the gym for the first time in ages with a personal trainer. Time to knock off this stress-eating/weight gain that Ive been doing since the fire... Im sure I'll be hurting later.

Anyone else take up the gym habit after 50? Any success? Advice?

 

Morning all
Feel a little better, might just be the leftover from the nyquil.
Didn't sleep much.

It's sitting in the backyard during construction

Thanks Doc.

Inane banter.

I keep trying to go, 530am is the best time for me to go to the gym, but life gets in the way.

 

For any of you all that kept up with post about Tyler.leavng ICU today. sons ballteam live streamed all games for him yesterday to watch. he coached from the ICU all day by text. my son accidently hit a pitcher with batted ball. he was ok but knocked him out cold. son was worried about pitcher and Tyler was texting good shot. his personallity is back for sure!!thanks for the prayers. yes pitcher was ok maybe a concussion. and he was wearing a face mask. thats ahard shot

 

12-14 weeks is probably about right for being out of work. I have 4 weeks of physical torcher scheduled for now.
I had a job when I had my first knee replacement done but I was out work because of back and knee issues for 7 months before I had my knee replaced. The place I worked at kept my job for me if I could return within a year. The knee replacement didn't completely help with the back problems I had and I lost my job and I'm now currently unemployed/retired. I was retired before my first knee replacement.

 

1 Percocet and 2 fingers of Scotch ..:} No pain :}
Kidding , just start it slow and STRETCH before hand.
Hopefully the trainer will start off on low impact stuff to find your tolerances .

You know your body, don’t over do it, do what you can, if you’ve had sports or work related injuries in the past let the trainer know, some of them can be bit over the top gung-ho

 

I told my dr to follow me around for a day and see if you can keep up.

I need to go to the gym.
Yea right

 

Glad to hear he’s doing better and his spirits are up at least

Chris my r/shoulder along with the nerve issues , workers comp and after the lawsuit has me at 85% disability

I went thru 8 series of those injections (synvisc) into my R/knee until I had my knee replaced
