So, about that Knee replacement...

I had my left knee replaced at the beginning of May this year. First 2 weeks; gruesome. Today (4-1/2 months later) I've been mowing the lawn, replaced soffit, and facia on the house, painted the back of the house, and generally making a nuisance of myself. If your knee is slowing you down; get it done, and do the P.T. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks, but that wasn't my problem. BUT... when/if the time comes for me, I'll remember what you said!

While we are on the rabbit trail knee subject .....Wonderful to hear all is good Eric with the knee and it wasn't your kicker knee. I am blessed with good knees but always wondered can (or should) someone with a knee replacement kick start old bikes? Or does the knee replacement come with an optional electric start kit?

My knee surgeon's name is Dr. Dingle (really) and in a city with a median age of (what seems like)104, Sarasota has an impressive population of very good, and wealthy surgeons. As Dr. Dingle said, the knee is as structurally good as ever and I feel that; however, the success is largely based on getting the muscles in both legs, and back in good shape by doing the therapy. Easy to backslide and get lazy. Most people are so glad to be mobile again that they do the hard work and grunt through the pain. I'm still going to give my knee a few more months of healing before assaulting a kicker, Jason
