I am old and my knees have worn out from playing too much soccer and bowling. Tuesday morning I am having my right knee replaced. Hopefull I will be good as new in about 8 weeks.

My family will be taking care of my home needs after I am discharged. I am grateful for that. I know that this type of surgery is done all the time just like heart by pass are done routinelly.

The stay at the hospital in three days. I will be back posting stuff in about a week. I have only one chess game going at this time. Dinty and I will meet the two day criteria to make a move. He is working with me by posting his move as late as possible on Wednesday to allow me to get back home and make my move in time.

I wonder if Kaiser has Wi-fi and I can take my laptop with me.

 Take it easy Denver and have a quick recovery. We'll watch the fort for you while you're gone. Take care. Smile

I also wish you a speedy recovery!

Good luck with that. I fear in the not too distant future I might have to do the same. At the moment it still amuses me that my knee sounds like a back-pedalling bicycle when I straighten my leg....

15 years ago Kaiser Hospital put on my right knee,. Two weeks later they came 

out with a 30 year knee. They knew it was coming. I bowl in three bowling leagues now,

They told me that soon I would need a left knee replaced. I knew the pain,

I got a used stationary bike and started exercising my left 500 reps daily. Then600 reps,

800 reps, 1000 reps, 1500 reps. then I quit counting and went to 1/2 hour. and up.

The thought was that I would make my knee internally polished where the cartilage

used to be. It worked I don't have to have my left knee replaced ever.

I should have done that with my right knee. LIVE AND LEARN,

Wow. Good for you doing it on your own. Sad the doctors didn’t tell you all the options when you initially got it replaced.
