Good morning  All the major storms missed me last night just rai and a little lightening  getting ady to leave shortly got to walk copper

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, Good to no major storms. Good luck with your appointment this morning. Let me know how it goes.
I bet you enjoyed Copper's walk this morning if your area now has cooler temps and breezes after the storms.

Cooler and breezy in my area. Very nice too.

Today's Quotes ... All three of them.

I found a surgeon that will do the surgery  But now I am thinking about it.  They gace e infir and email to ask quesions.  I now have a ist he saidit takes about 6 weeks.  I am doing afollow up appt sept 12  I will probably book it then unless I change my mind. I guess I a leaning toward doing surgery. Im afraid

A lot of your posts LB have related back to your knee issue.  I've been following but haven't made too many posts (?)  I've had both of mine replaced.  Tony actually had 3 knee surgeries.  (No, he only had 2 legs!)  On a trip to MX, on a newly treated terrazzo tile floor he took a spill.  A couple weeks later we knew he had a problem.    Ergo, replacement of the replacement. 

Want to hear more - can you email or personal message me?

I'll be outside soon, maybe till 1 or 2.  Later?

Good Afternoon...

LB, Paulie,  jicaji and Puff.

LB-understandable you have fears. That's what has held me back. My concerns are---Mostly that for petite women they still use an adult  joint instead of a children's size.
Talk to your surgeon about your concerns-lay it all out there.  I see Puff has offered some guidance. 

Paulie- good deal on the nice weather

Puff-the experiences of one who's gone through 'thing's ---esp .such surgeries. Is always of value. 


I'd say #3. In the end it's all up to the individual---follow 'your gut'.

Hi So I saw the surgeon today. He will do the surgery of course I  didnt sign on right away.  I did make an appogment for sept 12 to discuss some more and probably give the go ahead.  I didnt ask many questions but I do have a list I made up. Its on my work computer maybe I will send to here and post and you guys can suggest any questions I missed. LOL The only thing is he workout of hospitals abut an hour from me  I have  2 wonderfull hospitals within 5 minutes from me.  I hear  the hospitals he work out of are pretty good. I ready has done surgeies on college students and professional ahletes. I just wish I knew someone personally who used him.  if my PT place recommneds him. He cant be so bad. He says he does it Robotically and I will stay over night in the hospital and iin the morning I will do PT and go home in the afternoon. And PT/nurse will come to my house for the first week.   oh boy another thing to worry about a not so friendly dog.  LOL    I did send Puff a personal  message!!

[Phyl]

If I read correctly...this all sounds pretty good.  Messaging Puff 

Sleep well Cherrios! And, SEDs all.

[Phyl]

LB-good night's rest     #3 for me have a 'good day'

Hi Paulie and  jicaji

[paulie]

LB, Good to you finally finding a surgeon who will do your knee replacement if you choose to do so. Since the PT practice you go to has been so great and you trust them, you speaking to them about it is very good. They've been so good with you up to this point they wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction.

Very good to you sleeping good last night!! 

Hi back at ya Phyl.

Oops forgot quotes. All three are good again.

[LBLNJ0668]

Good Morning, didnt sleep well last nigh LOL.  I am leaning toward th surgery. I need it why waste tie and why suffer more.  I know it wont be perfect afterwards but anythng is better than now.   I just want to walk and enjoy the outside . Not walking due to being lazy is a lot differnt than not walking cause of the pain/discomfort

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, Darn to your sleep last night. You do have a big decision on your mind. What you said this morning makes sense. Are you still going to get opinion from your PT office? Would be a good to because if they give their approval you'll feel even more confident. What do you think?

All quotes today are good and lean towards your decision. 

[Phyl]

Good Morning...

Vedry interestin about the lions!!! They are beautful for sure !!!

Yes I will ask PT about the surgeon to see if I can get any kind of information from them they may not tell me anything. There was a person I meat when I firsgt started PT who did use the surgeon for Knee replacement. SHe loved him. Ican see why, He is good looking LOL I wouldnt mind going to sleep looking at him. LOL   I asked my cousin about the hospitals he is affliated since he lives up north so I know the hospital I want to use  No he didnt know of the doctor.  LOL   I am leaning more and more toward the surgery. Hey Paulie you can do yours at the same time and we can recover together!!!

 I just remember I had a night mre about mice .LOL   Maybe thats why I iddnt sleep well. No I havent seen any since I killed the one  Maybe he was a lone Mouse.   LOL
