[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Kathi, 20 something years ago, drove a Kawisaki motorcycle through the rear of a 71 Chevy pick up. Got a whole new knee out of the deal. (and a new nose) Amazing what they can do with nylon, stainless steel and a few screws. You will know when the weather is about to change. But, and trust me on this, as time goes on, the pain becomes managable. In fact, you will end up having to think about your knee before you realize how much it hurts. It is something you can deal with, minus drugs. And yes, all the physical therapist everywhere in the world are sadomasochist and evil creatures. They really enjoy their work, way too much... Ed [/quote] Kathi and Ed [:)] I lettered in track in high school. I also messed up my knee in track. I have had 3 surgeries on my left knee. Just one on my right. They take turns trying to see which one can bother me the most. This is one of the major reasons I do not like cold weather or SNOW. It is not too bad if the weather will change and then stay that way. It is the constant changing that gets to me the most. There are several people at work who had knee surgery. Most of them only one. And to hear them complain you would think they have had many knee surgeries. I just look at them and shake my head. I have to agree with Ed. The PT people love their work. "Does that hurt? How about this?" They always seem to be smiling no matter how much pain YOU are in. Funny thing, you would think that when you tell them that IT does hurt they would stop. BUT NOOOOOO. [}:)] Now, how many times have you been asked, "Did you step in a bear trap?" I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard it. [;)] Well all of us KNEE people need to stick together. My doctor has told me that both of my knees with have to be replaced. He refuses to do it now saying I am too young. Such a nice man he is [;)]. Looking forward to the future with a limp. [8D]
