    I haven't been around for weeks due to a knee replacement. Not dead yet . Can't sit at the computer very much due to knee pain.

    Glad to hear from you George. Have thought about you a few times recently.

    Do all of your therapy your doctor tells you to do. It keeps your knee from getting stiff.

    It’s good to hear you’re alive and kicking, with one leg anyway . Do your exercises, take care and hurry back.

    Woohoo! (to you being back, not to knee pain).

    Glad to see you're still with us George. I was seriously about to start pestering people that I know who have non-SMC relationships with you to see if all was OK.

    Old age is tough, but it sure beats the alternative. I know

    I'm glad to see you posting again.

    +1 on this advice. My wife is a PT and she acknowledges that although rehab can be very painful at times, her joint replacement patients who are willing to push through the pain during therapy regain more of their range of motion than "less enthusiastic" patients AND recover more quickly.
    She hurts me all the time but assures me that its all for my own good...

    George, good to hear you're on the mend. My BIL had a knee replaced and says his only regret is not doing 10 years ago. I hope you're quickly beyond the pain and soon enjoying the same improvements.
