    Oh just saw your post about crying the blues.....I agree...... Unfortunately I couldn't take any pain medication. So I don't know if it's narcotic blues or just plain old getting your knee replaced blues!

    I'm glad you are back in shape!!! What an ordeal. I understand what you're saying. I am hoping some of it is swelling and bruising which have been slowly healing. I look like a kaleidoscope still. I just can't imagine doing this again.
