Thanks of the vibes, wy, Brit, strad and evdog.
A bit. I made the mistake of watching a video of a TKA. Don't do that. I'm engaged in acts of distraction today, tending to tasks including, among other things, changing the oil in the Tundra. [/tie into that other thread]

Recovery Day 1. Very sore and stiff this morning, in the recliner watching Stage 5 of The Tour. Surgery went "very well" according to the surgeon. I got #7 joint hardware, next to largest size. It took longer than expected because long time to saw off a big bone spur due to proximity of artery and nerve.

Good luck, Steve. I expect you'll be out covering lots of ground soon.

I want pics. Got any cool gore? X-rays?

Ha ha. I should have asked him for the old parts. He did say the old knee had lots of severe arthritis. He also wondered aloud how I put up with the pain resulting from the big bone spur. I recall a few years ago mentioning to you and Mofro that I could bend my knee (flexion) more than 90 degrees -- I now know that was the bone spur digging into soft tissue. Yuck
Knee hurts like a goddam motherfucker today, as expected.Last edited by GeezerSteve; 07-15-2018 at 04:46 PM.

What's that in the jar on your bookshelf, Steve? Oh, just my old knee in some formaldehyde.

Excellent timing with having the Tour and a little world cup to keep you occupied
Glad to hear things went well. sorry to hear the pain level is high
How about not so long ago when there were no pain meds, anesthesia etc? that always trips me out- then reading about how they would just give you a bunch of booze and then people would just hold the patient down. ugh
not that they'd be doing a knee replacement but just how lucky we are to have these options

What a pussy of a doc. A good orthopedist wouldn't let a little thing like an artery or nerve get in his way. Don't ask me how I know this.
A civil war officer used to go to the museum at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology to visit his leg.
Speed was everything in the pre anesthesia days. The record in the civil war for a leg amputation was reportedly 19 seconds. Unfortunately the specimen included a testicle and the assistant's thumb.
Get well fast

Someone posted up a picture of Steve's new knee x-ray. Seems he's doing okay.
Good luck on your recovery.

We really don’t do epidurals for knees anymore. Femoral nerve block or obturator canal block.
