Cut my knee out already!

Great news Judy! Couldn't help but notice you were up at 1:30 AM posting.

 

Thanks for the update! Glad you are feeling better already.

 

Excellent news! Props too the Doc and his staff.

 

Judes....

I see you are in S. Burlington... did you go to Fletcher Allen?

I went to UVM, worked at Fletcher Allen, now I am in San Diego Emergency Department, but back East soon for medical school.

 

Glad to hear your doing good.

My uncle had both knees replaced in his mid 50s and he said it was the best thing ever did.

 

Great news - to hear you are on the road to recovery.

 

lol yes I had to take my "medicine" lol....

Thanks Kristin yes will be riding before I know it!

yes props to Dr. Bryan Huber & his staff @ Mansfield Orthopaedics!

I had it done at Copley Hospital in Morrisville. My surgeon is out of Stowe/Morrisville area. I am right down the road from UVM & Fletcher Allen though. I see you were made in maine, have family there & go up to the Seacoast area, Portland, and Old Forks/Baxter State Park area often. I love it there, mountains on one side, ocean on the other. Good luck with your school!

Thanks Chris!

Great news on your uncle and thanks for the kind words.

Susan, cannot wait to be driving down the road...lol all in good time. Thank you so much! Judy

 

glad to hear all is well with you.

 

been absent a few days Judy but finally made it back, and I'm so glad it all went well and you are on the road to a quick recovery....thanks for the update......great pics too.

 

17 days post op.....

Yesterday I walked to my mailbox using just a cane.
Knee flex @ almost 90, -8 @ extension. Bending it is the hardest part for my quad/hamstrings need to re-learn from all my years favoring it & soft tissue trauma from the surgery.
Physical Therapist/Therapy is somewhat insane. They "help" your knee bend...pain I hope to forget as time goes on.

I have all kinds of respect now for all the older folks who go through this ..........or do a double replacement.

Next week should be able to drive the truck, looking forward to getting out of the house, going a little stir crazy

 

good to hear judy!

 

Good to hear about your progress.

 

Thanks for the update!! So glad you are healing up quickly and doing well .
I remember those days in PT too, but it's all worth the pain in the end!

 

Fantastic news Judy! Sounds like recovery is going well.

 

Sounds good Judy... I've heard about the therapy after a knee replacement you'll get through it and be so happy when it's done

 

Good to hear from you Judy, take care!

 

How are you doing now little miss?

 

Hey Luke
I'm back to work, doing outpatient PT, riding a stationary bike.
No pain except for range of motion exercises. I need 120 degrees for my ortho appt on Aug 17th. I am at 103 now.
So all is going great and am so glad I did it.

How is your knee? You must be fully recovered now? Chasing everyone around the yard?

 

Thanks Brock and keep em crossed.
Yeah my fear is the manipulation procedure so am trying to follow the PTs program to a T. She put me on the bike last Friday just doing half moons. When I finally went all around it was a tad scary.
We both know we don't want to go backwards with our knee injuries.
