60+ year old thread.

Successful total knee replacement yesterday. Still at Stanford.

I can’t believe that they do these as outpatient surgery

 

They have come along way.

 

Holy Cow! I had mine a month apart. Week in the hospital after each, then a lotta PT! Can't imagine out patient!

DO WELL!!!

 

Good luck, yes they toss you out quickly. Seems like hospitals are only sick people anymore. When my wife fell and broke her hip she was in over night considering surgery was at 8pm. Out the next day. A gal from church had anterior hip replacement surgery out same day she had the other one done 2 years prior and was in over night. Keep up with PT. Hope you feel better soon a couple days.

 

Ivan I had 3 stints 10 years ago and was in over night. 3 last year I walked out 3hrs afterwards.

 

Congrats on the new knee Ivan. Glad I had mine done and with therapy was up and around with no walker or cane in 3 weeks. Amazing what they do

 

Evening all:

Glad to hear that it was successful, now don't get crazy until it's broken in and healed!

 

Thanks for all the advice


My doctor told me th are t Covid changed a lot of procedures to outpatient. No beds available.

 

Well, now you have your own! Just take it easy, and do well!

 

Get an Ooma - works off of wifi and is like $7.00 per month

Heal up fast and do your therapy!!!

I'd take out patient vs having to wait up to months for the surgery.

Getting my RV ready for a 14 day trip north from San Diego to Paso Robles, Kings River, Bass Lake, with a neighborhood group I call "Scripps Ranch Trailer Trash". 5 couples, this group are Travel Trailer haulers. I have a Minnie Winnie. Well break off from the group after Bass Lake/Yosemite and loop back down the coast doing our own thing. Taking 2 Ebikes on a 1Up Superduty rack that is RV rated. Recaulked my RV roof which has been giving me fits for the last 2 years with roof leaks. Hillary hit San Diego and I was concerned about water leaks
resulting from the rain. Bone dry! Now just taking care of smaller items like flushing the fresh water tank, topping off the onboard propane tank, rotating and balancing the tires. Almost ready to go! This will be our first trip in 2 years without our GSD "Santino" that passed in June. We're taking his blanket and water dish with us.

 

Safe travels

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!!

Heal quickly @Ivanimal !

 

Morning Mark.
Hope you are making headway…

 

Good morning, Mike!! Just marking time until I start PT this week and living with the discomfort for now. Thanks for thinking of me!! Hope all is well with you.

 

Doing ok thanks.
Just doing piddle projects.
Deciding when to pull the mouse snowblower out and start on that.
Still can’t mow my lawn. Raining just enough to make it to wet.
Still to wet at the end of the day..
Oh well, real world problems… hehehe

 

Good morning all you Porchies…

I would like to address something minor I have seen.

I see it a lot.

The use of quotes and tags sends alerts to the person you are having a conversation with.
By not doing that, a reply to a question or conversation could be missed. I have seen someone ask me a question buried in a paragraph and if this place was busier, I could easily miss it. Sometimes a few days go by and I just happen to see it.
Sometimes it’s pretty important to the person that is asking the question. Then if I don’t reply, then they could be thinking I couldn’t be bothered and I’m a dick or asshole. (Well, I am but, that’s another conversation for later.)

I have called people across the U.S to help or shoot the shit.

If you are talking to someone or, making a reference to someone, quote or tag them…

If you don’t know how there are faq’s or ask in the thread.

Ok, back to more coffee… lol

 

Good morning all. Still in Ohio but will be home later today. Great ride so far, near perfect motorcycle weather. Spent some time with a group of friends and well worth the trip
