edward Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 As of Monday August 17th I will have a Knee replacement, and be off the saw for a while, until I'am able to take the steps to go into the shop, and my computer. At least I can stay in touch with my tablet., hopefully I will be a little better for my show at the end of September. edward Quote
crupiea Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 I had ankle surgery recently and am just now starting to walk after about 2 months. I was able to use my saw as i have a low bench, normal chair and foot pedal so maybe you arent out of the game yet!! either way get well soon. Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Good luck Edward!!.....Here's wishing you a fast recovery! Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 All the best Ed keep us informed how it goes. I'm in a lot of pain with mine so I'll let you be the guinea pig. Only kidding . Stay safe God Bless. Roly Quote
thatknobtony Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Good luck with your knee Ed. My Mom had a replacement and you might be surprised. There will be things like stretches they will want you to do after and they strongly encouraged my Mom to try and use it as soon as possible. I would have been bedridden for ever because I'm a wussy. Take care. Quote
tvman44 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 By the end of September you should be good to go, I have had both of mine replace, one at a time. Quote
NC Scroller Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Friend of our's had replacement surgery and two week later went on a business trip from Raleigh to Salt Lake. He admitted he over did it a bit but a trip from the recliner to the shop should be doable in two weeks. Quote
LarryEA Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Prayers all goes well and works perfectly. Quote

wedo scroll Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 I have had both replaced 6 yrs apart. You will experience some pain from the surgery, however it is much different from knee pain. The surgery pain is controlled by some pain meds, you'll not experience the knee pain any more. I found after a week most pain was gone and I didn't need any more pain med. Then comes rehab. There you will experience pain as you'll have to regain knee function. The best way to describe it is without continuing to stretch the muscles you'll not be able to either bend your knee properly or straighten it completely. Work - work - work! It will come and in 6 weeks to 3 months depending you'll return to a pretty normal knee. Its worth it! Bill Quote
wombatie Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Here's wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery. I wish they would do my husbands especially while he is still working and as plenty of sick leave, he certainly doesn't want to retire and not be able to do much because of his knee. Marg Quote

Kepy Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Here's wishing you the best of luck on your surgery. I will continue wearing my braces as so far they pretty much control the pain. Quote
Clem Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 All the best Ed. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Clem Quote
campasano Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Ed, hope you have a speedy recovery, Do not overdo anything as you may do damage to your knee. Pick up some good books to read and just relax. Wishing you well. Mike Quote
captlucky Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Ed hope it all works out for you I can tell you that getting back to the saw will help. I went 14 months last year and this. they cut the left leg off so now I cut setting in a wheel chair the day I got back to work on projects was like getting a new lease on life good luck Ron Quote
bobscroll Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 Hell Edward, Sorry to hear of your problem with your knee, I hope it doesn't take too long, All the best, Bob Quote
edward Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks for all the get well wishes, hopefully won't be away for long. edward Quote
joleet Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 I think it would be better to have a rusty saw than a rusty knee . Have a great recovery. Quote
