Got a new knee (graphic pics)
I had a total knee replacement done on 2/22, so I haven't been online much.......lol, like anyone would have noticed
 Anyway, got my staples out today & am just starting to feel like moving around alittle more. I was up walking on it the next day, but am still forced to use a walker. There are actually videos of the surgery on YouTube, I watched one the morning of my surgery.....not something I'd suggest for anyone with a weak stomach. Recovery is going as expected, had a couple minor setbacks, but got over those. Smitty

That scar was actually the same one I had from a prior surgery, they just "reused" it. I have 2 other scars on that same knee, 1 on each side (and one on my left knee).
lol, I hope you're right.....I've been told I act like a 2 year-old  Seriously though, I have to come upstairs for the internet, so I haven't been online but a couple days a week.......just haven't had the energy to do much posting, hopefully that'll get better with time. Thanks! Smitty

I saw that surgery on tv once. They used chisels and hammers to drive the pins. I've seen them lay railroad tracks gentler than that
 .Glad that you're up and moving around. Hope the rest of the recovery goes quick and smooth!

Yeah, and my hip feels every bit of it. They use drill, hammer, a jig that drives into your legbones & a sawzall to shave your bones with.
Go to youtube & search "total knee replacement".......it certainly isn't a "gentle" surgery. However, if you plan on having one done.....I suggest you not watching the video......I'm just alittle warped, was the only reason I did prior to surgery. Thanks Smitty

Okay, so maybe I'm weird, but that looks cool. I like how it curves around! I think I should have been a doctor or something, but
 I figured that out too late.You sure do sound chipper for someone with a big ol' gnarly scar.

Orthopedists are the carpenters of the human body. They use all sorts of carpentry tools to rebuild the bones.
