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

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"!    s

Dolht!

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.

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.

[Fizzie]

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?
