I find out tomorrw if I have to have knee surgery again
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 10:41 PM by nini
thanks to a little monster than threw a tantrum and fell into my freshly surgically repaired knee a couple weeks ago.

Now before everyone gets their underwear in an uproar - we beat the spoiled children thing to death in the thread where I ranted about the incident. I am not a child hater.

However, if I have to go under anesthesia again and start all over on my recovery, I reserve the right to continue to loathe this little snot.


:-)

4. I have a state 'o' the art titanium knee
(Thank you football) I love it, I think it can stop bullets and stuff. It certainly keeps me from going through airport security.

7. I had 9 on the same knee
it sucked in a big way. After the knee replacement the therapy was like the Spanish Inquisition, in fact I may have been in a Saddam torture cell, it was that bad. But now it's like a Feminine hygiene commercial, everything is Soooooo beautiful.

16. 3 reconstructions here....
The surgery isn't that bad.

The #@!?@#@#! physical therapy sucks.

Good luck, and hope everything works out.

17. Thanks and Welcome to DU
sorry to hear of your pain too! You're right - the surgery isn't too bad it's all the healing and work after that gets you. That's why I'm so frustrated in having to start over because of a very avoidable situation.

thanks again

18. TWO TKRs here
Both on the same knee. Now the other one is starting to get looser and looser and looser and...

The therapy is a b**ch. The fact I can walk again is priceless.

19. "The fact I can walk again is priceless."

Yes, the ability to walk is priceless and I will do whatever I need to get there - which is why I was so frustrated with the situation that happened to me that has set me back again.


Be careful with that loose knee! Best to you on that.


thanks
