Be a good boy and do the physio the way they tell you and not how you want to.  ;D

Yeah, amazing that you can do that so quickly!

With my hip, I think it was next morning, using a wheelie-walker.

Hi, aren’t we glad to live in the age of modern anaesthesia and prosthetics.
In days of yore, a gammy leg was a life sentence.

Agree 100%
It is amazing.
When I was 18(1984), I suffered a torn cartilage, the same knee, Rugby League injury.
I had key hole surgery, Lismore hospital and I was home that afternoon.
Back at work within a fortnight.

I was awake throughout this procedure, talking to the nurses, and the anesthetist, who would of thought?

I was able to walk, although very slowly, unaided from the bedroom to the lounge room this morning, some 8 meters. :)
Hey Geoff, no, I won't at work Monday.
Ah ah ah.

Some of the personalised plates we spotted yesterday!

HLUXRY on a Hi-Lux was clever (although I'm not sure that Hi-Lux & "Luxury" actually go together ???)

M1SF1T & V4ND4L were both a worry though, especially as they way they were being driven matched their "names"!  :o ::) >:(  s

You would think a HR/people manager would know better. Wonder if they will undergo counselling or just be dismissed from their jobs, maybe just cautionary letter. ;D ;D

Well, I had my first physo appointment today.
Things are good, I've done as I was asked & told to do and they are happy with my progress.
Thanks Bullfrog for your advice and support.
Now. I have a couple different exercises to achieve in the next fortnight.
Pain management in the early hours of the morning is something I need to sort out, I am not taking any medication/pain killers throughout the day. I do have the prescribed ones before bed, but they don't seem to last as long as they should.
I stopped the taking of the pain killers during the day, because I was getting head aches,  kinda like a hangover.
When I discussed this with the physo. They said it was the body craving the drugs and I was doing the right thing.
I'm able to walk around the house outside, to the front gate, go to the shed, do small tasks. Walk up & down stairs, although slowly.
As they say,
No pain. No gain, but don't over do it.
Friday I go back to the Surgeon to have the surface stitches removed,  :)
Happy Days.

Sorry to bore you all with this, but it might help someone prepare for a Knee replacement.

For those that have Facebook, this is the hospital and program I have taken part in.

Thanks Hairs, I taking note. I’ve a knee in the near future, but I need a shoulder done first. Matter of which hurts the most & the shoulder wins.  Brother had his done in SA last year & they scan the shoulder & then 3d print a new one. Perfect fit. I rang around Perth trying to find a surgeon that does these but no luck, then blow me down the women doing an X-ray of my shoulder for the GP tells me about the surgeon in Busselton that does these 3D ones. It’s a lot bloody closer than Perth too. Apparently the old way you get a new joint that’s the closest to your current shoulder, may not be exact so this printed one is a much better fit. Just waiting on the surgeon to get back to me, he’s on holidays.

As they've said to me though, when I've had various bits worked on - do not put up with pain, as it doesn't do you any good!

Have you tried Osteomol at all?
