    Default Knee replacement progress

    Hi Folks,

    As promised, here is a follow up on my progress since
    having a total knee replacement on 27 October. I am
    happy to report that my theropist tells me I am way
    ahead of most in my recovery.*G* The staples came
    out over a week ago. I quickly moved from the walker
    to a cane and have now retired the cane only three
    weeks after the operation. I am faithfully doing all
    of the prescibed exercises with excellent results
    to date. The strength is steadily returning and I am
    able to get out and enjoy the pleasant weather of late with the wife on some daily outdoor walks. I
    have also been able to reduce the pain meds by
    probably 2/3 since surgury and should soon be off of
    them entirely. I am already walking without a limp
    which I could not do prior to the surgury.*G* So
    life is pretty good in SC and prespects for a great
    spring/summer is really looking promising.*G* After
    sitting out this past summer, that is indeed a good
    thing.*G* Thanks again for all of the emails and notes. Warm regards, Jim

    Great news, Jim! Keep up the strength conditioning or whatever the doctor has you doing and you'll be chasing Shellcrackers in no time . Thanks for the update.

    Hi Rick,

    I guarantee she's happy with the progress as she is
    responsible for much of it. She's taking excellent
    care of me and coaching my exercise program.*G*
    Warm Regards, Jim

    Jim,

    That's certainly wonderful news. I think you are going to be amazed as the healing process continues. My father had a knee replacement several years ago; he still talks about how he can play golf and not feel like his his knee is starting to go out for the first time in forty years. Yes, my Dad is a golfer. I've tried to change him. I've pleaded. I've cried. I've talked about the family reputation. Every Saturday, out he goes with gasp, the clubs. 8T
