doc dave -- take good care and heal quickly!
I know some friends that have had knee replacements and they are all hiking again in a surprisingly short amount of time...
enjoy your vacation from lymenet! Posted by charlie (Member # 25) on :
A new knee is always better than no knee....you ought to see mine (but they don't hurt...)
Best of wishes from another old timer.

Hope you don't get any more screwed up by pain meds. I remember fondly the morphine drip-kept that little button clutched in my hand at all times-when they put me on oral pain meds though I started throwing up.
Knee surgery is not going to be fun-and I hope you have enough help lined up for when you get home. Need a Potty ? I think there's one in our basement-covered in plastic so it shouldn't be too moldy.
We're really going to have to wait until Saturday to know how your doing? Oh man- the suspense of Lymenet...
Well, take care, hope everything goes smoothly.

I know it's after the fact but hope all went well, DocDave. Thinking of you and hoping for a speedy and least painful recovery.
Does anyone know what hospital DocDave had the surgery at? I'm local and could call. If you know could you PM me and I'll check up on him.
Thanks

Hope all goes well and you don't have to have the new knee.
But if you do have it switched, it should feel better than new when all is said and done (husbands 2 bionic knees experiences)
