    Last Monday Oct. 14 had my right knee replaced. In the hospital at 6:00 A.M. and was home by 4:30 P.M. Doing well. Used walker for one day and then on the crutch. Physical Therapy right away. Mowed front lawn today. Not a problem. Still can't get it through my thick head that I have a replaced body part.

    That's great.

    Before ya know it, you'll be ready to get back in the ring for that Saturday night wrestling show.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!

    That's good to know. I need both replaced. I've had 6 general anesthesia and am afraid of 2 more. Need to deal with that fear then maby I can lose the excess weight so the surgeon will be willing to operate on me.

    This was done with a spinal block and a milde anesthesia. Like getting a colonoscopy. Sure a few of us had one of those colonoscopy jobs around here.

    My 59 yr old neighbor just had a whole kidney removed through a 14 inch incision, and he was combining beans 7 days after the surgery. I guess he just would not wait for his neighbors to get his crop out for him! We all tell him to take it easy, but he's a stubborn farmer and you cant tell him nothing!
