Hi Folks,

Well, the knee surgury I had early June failed to
achieve the desired results. It only increased the
pain and greatly decreased my mobility. My surgeon
wanted to repeat the same surgury this week in an
effort to better the situation. My insurance approved a second opinion with a reputable surgeon
and he saw no reason to assume a second identical
surgury would offer any relief but that I was a good
candidate for a knee replacement. So, on the 27th of
this month, the new surgeon is doing the knee
replacement surgury.

Wondering if any of our FAOL family has any
experience with knee replacement that they can share
with me. Any encouragement, do's, don'ts, and tips
would be much appreciated. I am most anxious to be
in fishing trim by spring of next year. I missed
this whole season and I have a beautiful Granger
banty cane begging to be fished.*G* Warm regards,
Jim
