Tomorrow (Monday) I go in for another total Left Knee replacement. This is to replace the knee that was put in this time last year. It appears that they put the wrong type knee in last Aug. here in Newberg, Or. It was never right and kept getting worse till today it bends backwards about 20 degrees. My new knee is designed for us older guys who already had leg and muscle problems. Gonna get this done now, so I can dance cheek-to-cheek with Via on our wedding day this fall. Not looking forward to the recovery process again, but we are both very excited about a new and improved "John". I'll be in the hospital and rehab for about 10 days. Any prayers are welcome.

Ride in comfort,
John

I feel your pain as I had a total right knee rerplacement in March. The recovery and therapy after the operation is not fun at all. Hope the new parts allow your knee to be like new.

Praying for speedy recovery. Had right knee done two years ago and did not get pain free until a couple months ago when I had a scope done and they fixed the issue. Almost pain free now so don't give up and keep fighting to dance and ryde.

Thanks all for your kind words and prayers:bowdown:. I think they worked:clap:. The operation went smoothly but was very extensive and included putting "rebar" into the bones above and below the knee. I'm healing very fast and the pain is surprisingly less than the first time. Great Drs. and support team here:chat:. I'll move to a rehab facility tomorrow for about a week. Can't wait to start riding and dancing again:yes:.

Ride in comfort,
John
