Had left knee TKR in August 2009. Never have felt better! Shouldn't have put it off as long as I did. Doc said not to swing a golf club for 5 months. I played my first round 6 weeks after surgery. Don't do that!!!!

Operated on in '81 for a stone. Passed a passel of 'em since. Last one in '04 was busted up by the lithotripsy machine. Piece of cake. You'll do okay!!
Thanks Limp. I'm having a partial KR. Medial side only. Doc says golfing in 6 weeks!

Had it been a total replacement, I coulda handled that for you. All you need is a skill saw, 1/2" drill, and some epoxy. A couple sawcuts and the old one hits the trash can. Drill a 1/2" hole down the center of the thigh bone and shin bone. Epoxy the new joint in place. Wrap it with duct tape for a couple days. Lots cheaper than them thar horsepitals. :)

One of those days, here, that you don't want to happen often.
8:00 a.m.: Appointment with ENT doctor about a growth inside my nose. He doesn't think it's anything to worry about but wants to cut a piece of it off and send in for biopsy. Ask him if I'll need bandaged up. He said no, but could have some bleeding throughout the day. Told him I had a speaking engagement at 2 p.m. Said to come back after that and he'd do the biopsy.
9:00 a.m.: To the audiologist to get some filters for my hearing aids.
10:00 a.m.: To the dentist to have temporary crown pulled off and permanent crown installed.
2:00 p.m.: Keynote speaker at a graduation ceremony for a local technical school
3:30 p.m.: Back to the ENT doc. Stuck a needle up inside my nose to deaden it. Cut some of the growth off for biopsy. Deadening is just now wearing off and feel like I've been punched in the nose.

The Good Lord has blessed my wife and I with excellent health. Just seems like the little things happen on a more regular basis. And, working out of town, try to schedule all I can in one day.

Just scheduled my knee replacement surgery for 21 November and then to my urologist to search for the cause of the blood in my urine. Turns out I have 2 kidney stones in the left side. 5mm and 12mm. They are not obstructing anything now, so we scheduled lithotripsy for September. Papal is a geezer!

Left knee, right knee, or weeknee?

The doc gave me a 2 day dose of antibiotics after the camera-up-my-Johnson procedure to prevent infection. I was warned that it might cause my urine to be a shade of blue or green. HOLY SHIT! Now I know what smurf-piss looks like!

Don't go to a public urinal in a gun happy state. Someone may pronounce you an alien and put a cap in yo a$$. [emoji89]
