Subject: RE: Tough day for the old man


Camp Douglas Wi. 40miles nw of wi. dells
Had both my knees replaced at 60 years old in 2012, left in June, right in November.

I did the pre surgery exercise, after in recovering had the thing-ma-gig to suck on for my lungs and thing on my calfs pumping to keep from blood clod ding.

Day after surgery had me in rehab, I actually enjoyed rehab, gave me something to do as I couldn't do anything else, I would go to therapy come home, rest some and do therapy on my own twice what they told me to do. Had same therapist for both knee,s.

First 3 weeks just suck, 4-6 weeks the pain goes away and you more flexible, after 6 weeks I was steady walking on flat surface. At 3 months everything was good, they did tell my it would take 1 year to be completely healed and they were right.

After couple years I could kneel on soft dirt, grass, pads for a minute or two but that's all.

Edit; If your Dad does his therapy he will be a happy man.
