Following this post I have posted two videos of total knee replacements. The first one is a real surgery and the second one is an animated version. You can choose the version you like due to the level of your squeamishness. ( Is that a real word? )
After we moved here to Ohio a man from the church offered to help us out with a family membership to the local YMCA. So for the past few weeks I have been lifting and trying to get my knee back in shape.
I had my TKR on January 23rd, 2010. About 10 months ago. Up to today, I have not been able to run yet. I still limp pretty noticeably, when running, but it is getting better. I was shooting hoops with my friend Norm at the Y and I was able to run after a loose ball and run a lot lot freer. If that makes sense.
It was depressing, when last August, right before we left Arizona, I raced Katy Beth, my 3 yr old daughter and she beat me. Now of course I am sure she's going to be a great athlete, but at three, hmmm.
Thanks for all your prayers for my knee. Keep those prayers coming. Maybe by spring I'll be able to play softball again.
