Here's a case where the repops are absolutely better than reusing the factory originals. While I have no direct experience, the suggestions to keep moving are spot on, according to my hearsay. Wean off the painkillers promptly and get some foot miles on - so you are in top shape for truck driving weather.

 

Ouch, hope you recover quickly.

 

A classic example of a picture is worth a thousand words. Hope you're doing better.

 

you guys should see the table and position on his leg during the surgery. Even more frightening!

 

So did they replace that original piece with something aftermarket?

 

Hefty core charge. Get soon, well!!

 

Judging from how sore my muscles are, I believe you. Since my motorcycle accident in 1972, my left knee doesn't bend very much. The Dr told my wife he had to bend my knee to put me back together. The top of my thigh muscle is sore, probably from that. I probably won't know if I have more movement until I get behind the wheel of the truck and work the clutch. Dennis

 

Ewww. TMI.

 

Truly amazing! Get well

 

Maybe those are radioactive nodules growing there. Dennis

 

Dennis, did he go in from front, side or back ?? side is the easiest to recover and no limitations on movements after... the other two can have dislocation problems if you move or bend wrong... yep... pain free is a blessing... I had no staples just internal stitches and a big ole adhesive binding dressing... mine was on my left side... still a little tender when I'm laying on a floorbed on that side... installing a/c yesterday and I'm a little sore this a.m. gud luck and DO THE EXERCISES !

I would say he went in on the side slightly to the rear. I have stitches that will dissolve and a big waterproof patch. Dennis

 

The last 2 days were pretty good. The soreness is lessening. I was able to walk up the sidewalk to the corner 4 times today. Dennis. Still using the walker though.

 

Good to hear. Keep it up. You gotta be in shape for racing season!

 

Hello Dennis,

Just wondering how you were doing and if you were moving around any better. Hope so.
