Bill sez;
Been there twice. Tell him to do what his P T Therapist tell him to do. then just a little bit more each day
I sez:
I have had two done also many moons ago & are now beyond the warranty date. If you EVER plan on getting this done, DO THE THERAPY/EXERCISES WAY IN ADVANCE OF GETTING THIS PROCEDURE DONE. You will come out much better & heal better.
It just blows me away why they don't have you do the exercises before as well as after the procedure.
I'm goin out in the garage & work on my roadster now.
BOB - thanks for the advice that I may have had sooner in my life had I listened to older people earlier in my life. Not saying you're old, just saying that when I was 15 and still had both sets of grandparents I could have been a better listener. BTW, when I was 15, 25 was really old!

I was only in the hospital 1 1/2 days on my second one. I knew that as soon as I could walk up & down their little set of stairs that they would cut me loose. I went home & modified a exercise bike so I could sit in a stuffed easy chair & would peddle it while I watched the TV. The wife would bend my knee while I would lay on my stomach. She got even with me for everytning that had done & she didn't like.
I sent a couple of pumps to Skip a few day ago, call him a day later, talked to Skip, told me about his knee, I told him don't hurry, I don't need those for a few weeks. get well Ship, do you exercises and drive your wife crazy. lol Walt
