Umm, that might not be a knee. ;)
Get well soon.

You'll be in my thoughts. I was due for a cartilage op last Friday but it was cancelled because of bad weather. :(

Marque, will keep you in my prayers. Don't get discouraged when your recovery platoughs. I've heard that is normal and happens to everyone.
Madbat. I know several people who have had their knees replaced. They all love them. My mom waited 12 years because she was scared. She said she should have had it done back then.

I'd love it if they did it now, but they say I'm still too young. (45!?!) I guess the theory is that I'll wear out the joints too soon, and they can't be replaced, as it's the bone that wears out (due to the screws and pins). If that's the case, I'd still rather have a couple of years where I can actually walk.
Marque, I hope your recovery goes well!
Actually, it can be redone once with the current technology (twice if the first is a partial replacement.) That means, were it to be done now, it would buy you 30-40 years of relief. And 30 years out, who knows what they will be able to do. 30 years ago, a friend of mine was told his heart bypasses would buy him 20 years. At about 25 years, they started to fail. He said, "Well, I'd better get my will in oder." The doctor said: "Why? I can redo the bypasses now. We're able to do a lot more than we used to!"
My doctor was giving me that song and dance (and I was 61) and I asked him "Just how much longer do you expect me to live?"
I finally told him: "Someone is about to do this surgery on me, and I'd really prefer that it be you."
He put me on the schedule.
about 15 years ago I was talking with a woman whose mother had already had her knee replaced twice, so it can be done. My mom's doctor said they last 15 years, but he had never seen one need it. He also said that it isn't so much age as quality of life that determines it. This was after another doctor said my mom was too young. Maybe seek a second opinion.

Didn't say anything but have been out for a bit to get a new knee. Still weak but home for 3 days and already walking without the walker. Keep me in your thoughts please, this is going to take a lot of therapy but I think the outcome is going to be well worth it. Going to upload a pic of the suture site, have staples, for free for all the ghouls here...lol
