Yup - do the PT. I have had 2 surgeries on each knee.

Maybe we should start a Boneyard sub-group. Let's see...oh, I've got it...we could be the Boneyard Knee Jerks. All of mine were on the same knee, the left.

We could be Geno's support group. And with the right perks, we might be able to make him an honorary Knee Jerk Boneyard member. How could he possibly refuse? :cool:
 
My husband just had a total knee replacement. Went to the Hospital for Special Surgery. He had the surgery on Thursday and went home Friday late afternoon. The main hospital is in New York City but HSS now has the entire fifth floor of Stamford Hospital. HSS is the #1 orthopedic hospital in the country.

I suspect I'd take the prize : 11 surgeries and then the big 2 TKAs. Maybe the surgery will do something for those legs that keep bowing??

IDK, Rocky, 4, 5, 6 maybe, but 11. Yikes! You must be addicted to skiing. I think the Knee Jerks will have to implement some sort of an "intelligence quotient" requirement for membership. :rolleyes:...Head bang

BTW, my four were all pre-scope...and 2 of the 4 were T's. :( ...:eek:

It seems like when you enter your 60's, everything starts to fall apart. Whatever you did in your past life has a way of catching up with you and decides to send you a message that you "f....screwed up. When you were young, you felt athletic and that you were invincible and played with abandon and pushed yourself to limits that even you thought that you could not do. After 23 years in the Marine Corps and 38 jumps into UnGodly, territory, where I never landed on my feet, my body has finnally asked me to slow down. Two hip replacements, and a lumbar laminectomy along with ibuprophen, tramadol and lyrica for neropathic pain, I can still get up mount a horse and ride the property. There are times while pushing a cart in Walmart, that I just stand there for 60 seconds, because the brain says "go" and the legs say "no". Still here at 76. Go Geno. Never sit down.

Funny how we like to talk about our aches and pains. Makes me smile. I think that we need another new recruit to talk about for 18 pages.

Thank you for that mini memoir. And thank you much for your service and sacrifice. Frankly, I think you should change your handle to veryWISEolddog.

As an old German once said. "Too old smart." If we had only listened to, and acted upon, the wisdom of the ages when we were young and already knew everything!

When I was a about 18 my Mother was a passenger in a car I was driving and commented on my reluctance to slow down and proceed cautiously while traversing through a 4-way intersection with 2-way stop signs for the intersecting street. I replied, that I have the right of way. Yes, she said, you do. But you might end up being dead right. I chuckled inside and chalked it up to an "older" woman starting to slow down (pardon the pun).

She often told me, in those days, that as I got older I would come to realize that I didn't really know as much as I thought I did. Those comments I chalked up to a woman having to struggle with the fact that she had a son who obviously had a higher IQ than she did. :rolleyes:

Well, to make a very long story short, on my 22nd birthday I became a year older, and ever since, as I became a year older, she somehow or another became a year smarter. By the time she passed away, I was just amazed at how much wisdom that woman gained simply because I was getting older.

Ah ha! I thought I noticed a slight "hitch" in his get-a-long everytime he walked away from doing those halftime interviews on SNY. Now we know the rest of the story - Paul Harvey. Get well soon Geno.
