Hi Rich, 9cm = 3.5 inches 13cm=5.11 inches. Boy, that's a lot. Its no wonder you were experiencing looseness. I've this image of you having over 2 inches of knee with nothing much in it (the layman's take on things:wink:).
Welcome. Time passes soooooooo quickly. Truth is because I...
Hi Rich, just logged on by chance. I was amazed to read that you've had a revision and are now out and about doing gigs :wowspring:. For an old cynic like me it really brought a smile to my face. I know its early days but you do seem to be doing well.
Now you've been to hell and back and...
Hi Chris, Reading your post made me feel both happy and sad. Happy because you are so much better. Sad because it reminded me of your long journey and how much you have endured - and not only with your revision. I have recently completed a Mindfulness course. The emphasis is very much about...
Hi Ellen, thanks for the update. Obviously the good news is that the arthroscopy was worth it. I agree with you that revisions really are a last resort. They are a gamble, and in my opinion, only to be embarked on when you know that you cannot go on living with the ways things are ie, the knee...
Hi Judlepip I know `settling' is not an easy decision, but for some of us, its the right one. The struggle is always should I be bold and keep looking for an OS who is prepared to help me or do I accept what I've got. Sometimes I caught myself wishing my knee was worse than it is. I thought...
Hi Jaki , I had hoped to hear that eventually you had turned a corner. Reading between the lines it seems that you have decided just to live with it. Some days I think I will do that too, then I read posts where people have refused to settle for a bad outcome. They undergo key hole surgery...
Anne, take care of yourself tomorrow. You've loads of experience now to help you on that road to recovery. Make sure you make it work for you. Every day in every way Anne will get better and better.
Bonnie, you must think me so rude. I have just seen your post to me. Thanks for going to so much trouble to explain scar tissue and the value of having key hole surgery. Its food for thought. Keep improving.
Wedding joke?? Diana this is your highly acclaimed comquart joke which you unleashed on the world last year. Hope living without me doesn't mean you are losing your touch:rolleyes:. But enough. How are you? You still doing 2 jobs? How you coping with the summer weather - its not your time...
pss: my reference to `not being motivated by cupid's arrow' doesn't mean I didn't love M. I do - well most of the time. Sometimes he can be a pain in the xxx. Talking about backsides, did I tell you about the time last year when we were in a shop and he caught me looking at those J.Lo...
Thank you for your congratulations for tomorrow it brought a tear to my eye. Because M and I have been together for more than 20 years, and because inheritance tax rather than cupid's arrow was the motivator, I haven't told anybody about our wedding - except you lot of course and the 2...
Hi Lisa, Good to hear from you (and @dogwheels). Apart from the moderators, I dont think anybody we messaged is around any more - except for @Nana moon 27 but that's because Anne is having her second TKR in 4 days time. I get the occasional message. I am always pleased when I do because I...
Ellen, I have been away or would have replied sooner. I found your detailed post most informative. I continue to be amazed that surgeons differ so in their diagnosis. They have so much technology to help them.
Waiting with bated breath to find out how things go for you.
