Well... A phone call might've been prudent. I'm in the book...
Glad no one joined the church; we have plenty already!
I managed to finish up two 97's, two 81's and a 48 today.
I'd have appreciated the company!

Ken, it sounds like you are having a partial knee replacement. Is that the case? My partial replacement was on the right side of my left knee in July of last year. I am not pain free yet!!!!!! Sometimes I have some pain every step that I take, but it does not hurt at night. This was the problem before the operation. The doctor said that it was scar tissue and will get better?????

Ken, I was wondering if you asked where your knee joint was made? I hope it's not Chinese.
Goodluck with your recovery.

ken ct. ....................
If you had a partial done, you will have not much of a problem.
I had a partial done as an Out-patient ! I was in at 6:00 AM and was released at 10:30 AM. I was walking without crutches, walkers, etc., that afternoon. I wasn't able to walk too fast or too far, but was walking.
I also had a full knee done on the other leg. Now, that was a different story !

God bless you Mike,hope it never comes to that.Yes was a partial,its not bad but having trouble getting leg straight out,im sure you know all about that.According to the PT its got to get to "0" degrees.Im down to 3-4 deg. but according to them its not enough.Seeing them twice a week and see the Doc in 2 weeks and see what he says,wether i can just do at home.The out of pocket co-pays are killing me. Thanks for the encouragement. ken ct. Doing limited rebuilding for now. Stairs are the worst,LOL as you know I kinda miss going to Fl. twice a yr but the shows got so poor i gave it up.
