Reporting from Hospital Room 514
 

Survived Irma and was Knee Replacement Surgery went thru this morning at 10am - they already have me walking!

T.C.

That's pretty awesome! Good luck on a full recovery.

That's great news T.C. :thumbsup:

But its still no excuse for not posting in your helmet thread.



:P

Thanks guys! Don't worry, picture man will be back soon!

BTW, this was my 10th Operation on my Left Knee!

Wow!


Let's hope it works this time.


The joke in the valley here is how many people have a "6 pack" --- that is --- both knees - both hips - and both shoulders.... There's so much impact done to these joints (areas) here - and the average age of some of these sports/activity nuts - they've just worn the stuff out. LOL


Gwen needs both her knees done - but keeps putting it off.... because there's always some bike ride coming up (just did a Centurion - 100 miles in one day - in Maine last week - and is headed to Croatia for a multi day bike tour).

Glad to hear you're up and runnin'. Well, let's start with the walkin', runnin' in due time. :)

just changed my dressing for the 1st time - 31 staples, pretty gnarly looking

Still no power at my house, so I can't go home to at least tomorrow

Good luck with the recover, wishing you the best.

Going Home today, finally have power at my house

Good luck with the recovery! Hope the house didn't get hit.....

Godspeed T.C. :thumbsup:

I'm Home - no issues at the House except spoiled Food in the Freezer and it's warm til the A/C gets it dsown to a reasonable level.

31 Staples!

Nice diaper bag! LOL


Glad it's only some spoiled food! 6 more months and it will be like it never even happened (the knee that is).

It's amazing how much cutting, banging, and clanging they do in there and you can walk the next day. Got to love it!

Setback today. I got the Staples out, then I got dizzy (been nauseous for a couple of days) and passed out. I hit my head on the floor (no big deal), but my knee also impacted the floor and ripped the incision wide open - Blood everywhere!

Now tomorrow, they have to open me back up to check that the joint is OK.

More work missed - I hope I have a job to go back to!

TC

T.C,

I'm very sorry to hear that.

:(

That sucks,I hope it's OK

Admit it, you're doing whatever you can to miss work. :lol:

Play it smart and recover right brother. :captain:

TC how did you make out? Did it work just closing it up or did you do any more damage? I hope it wasn't too bad. Feel better.

It went OK, otherwise I would have been hospitalized and scheduled for more extensive procedures.

Finally getting some sleep. I have pain vs stiffness, but it is better everyday. I had to stop physical therapy temporarily
