[TheRealTC]

T.C.

[WSSix]

That's pretty awesome! Good luck on a full recovery.

[fleetus macmullitz]

That's great news T.C. :thumbsup:

But its still no excuse for not posting in your helmet thread.



:P

[TheRealTC]

Thanks guys! Don't worry, picture man will be back soon!

[TheRealTC]

BTW, this was my 10th Operation on my Left Knee!

[GregWeld]

Wow!


Let's hope it works this time.


The joke in the valley here is how many people have a "6 pack" --- that is --- both knees - both hips - and both shoulders.... There's so much impact done to these joints (areas) here - and the average age of some of these sports/activity nuts - they've just worn the stuff out. LOL


Gwen needs both her knees done - but keeps putting it off.... because there's always some bike ride coming up (just did a Centurion - 100 miles in one day - in Maine last week - and is headed to Croatia for a multi day bike tour).

[Ben@SpeedTech]

Glad to hear you're up and runnin'. Well, let's start with the walkin', runnin' in due time. :)

[TheRealTC]

just changed my dressing for the 1st time - 31 staples, pretty gnarly looking

[TheRealTC]

Still no power at my house, so I can't go home to at least tomorrow

[waynieZ]

Good luck with the recover, wishing you the best.

[TheRealTC]

Going Home today, finally have power at my house

[GregWeld]

Good luck with the recovery! Hope the house didn't get hit.....

[fleetus macmullitz]

Going Home today, finally have power at my house

Godspeed T.C. :thumbsup:

[TheRealTC]

I'm Home - no issues at the House except spoiled Food in the Freezer and it's warm til the A/C gets it dsown to a reasonable level.

31 Staples!

[GregWeld]

Nice diaper bag! LOL


Glad it's only some spoiled food! 6 more months and it will be like it never even happened (the knee that is).

[waynieZ]

It's amazing how much cutting, banging, and clanging they do in there and you can walk the next day. Got to love it!

[TheRealTC]

Setback today. I got the Staples out, then I got dizzy (been nauseous for a couple of days) and passed out. I hit my head on the floor (no big deal), but my knee also impacted the floor and ripped the incision wide open - Blood everywhere!

Now tomorrow, they have to open me back up to check that the joint is OK.

More work missed - I hope I have a job to go back to!

[fleetus macmullitz]

[waynieZ]

[waynieZ]

TC how did you make out? Did it work just closing it up or did you do any more damage? I hope it wasn't too bad. Feel better.

[TheRealTC]

It went OK, otherwise I would have been hospitalized and scheduled for more extensive procedures.

Finally getting some sleep. I have pain vs stiffness, but it is better everyday. I had to stop physical therapy temporarily
