What’s the saying, if it weren’t for bad luck,
That’s has to be tough and am sorry to hear that.
Stay strong, this too shall pass.

Thanks fellas. Got my new meds today. Good thing is they only require about 30 min whereas the other stuff took almost 2hrs. No side effects...so far. Winning!!! Ha!

So far so good. Waiting on Tuesday afternoon to unwrap the knee and hopefully proceed from there. I need some good news.

I give you credit for holding it together. Your surgery was three weeks before mine. There is really nothing I can’t do with mine now. I cut and split wood all week and had some big logs. Had to brace with my knees and push with them to split the big ones. Wore me flat out. I was whining about them being sore. Every time I check this thread it makes me feel thankful and just can’t imagine going through that. Hats off to you for your endurance in battling this. Still praying for you.

Went to the infection DR this morning. Good news so far. Back in 3 weeks. Knee DR this afternoon. They removed the stitches and took x-rays. Boy, he really sewed me up tight this time. Must have been 50 stitches. Knee looks a little gruesome but no leaking. Will wear a watertight bandage for next two weeks. Will start back with PT. Knee is stiff as all get out. Cant even get a 90 degree bend right now. DR said I should have a full recovery with time. Wife pissed me off by convincing him to not let me drive for another month. We'll be divorced if I have to be her passenger for another month! Other than that, I'm pretty happy how the day turned out. Plus....I get to take real showers again!!!
Appreciate all the well wishes and prayers.

Jimbo, what do you think caused you to have to go through this horrible experience????? Not sure. Payback for some earlier life choices? Karma? Probably just bad luck.

I went today fo another round of injections. I am getting really bad. He wont operate till i get to 255, i was 282 at his office. I dont know what to do. Find another doctor. I was around 305. DR barely mentioned my weight. If it is really bad I'd probably look for another surgeon. Have you thought about the gell injection? I know it's just a stopgap but maybe get you through the weight loss time if you're sticking with your DR.

Insurance required me to get cortisone injections and then rooster comb injections to see if they worked before surgery. They did not work and now I have had both knees done (at different times). Just do the physical therapy and you will be fine. You WILL NOT be like you were as a pup, but you will be better than before the surgery. Weight becomes a catch 22 problem. You hurt so you cannot exercise. I was 279 when I had mine done, and now I am 250. Check into another doctor. They can re-replace what they do today in a few years, so why does it matter to the doctor?

How are you Jimbo? Still improving I hope ? Driving again so life is less stressful. New antibiotics are making life a bit easier too. No side effects. The knee itself is still sore, especially upon just getting up. Bending a little easier though. No swelling or redness so I think I'm on the right track. I do need to call and set up PT again... I'm ready to get back to the lease. Those hogs aren't going to kill themselves!
