Going under the knife soon so I wanted to just wish everyone a Happy New
Year before hand and best wishes to all the RV folks here. It has been
a pleasure getting to know all of you this year and I look forward to
better things to come!

Regards,
sticks

Well, I lived.
Kinda crazy what they can do these days. Very optimistic about being
able to do the good hiking like before. Of course, I'm probably a
little buzzed right now, but I am very happy about all this at this
moment. Thank you, Ted!

Oh, that's excellent! Hope the recovery goes well. With modern
physical therapy, seems very likely you'll have lots of hiking to
come.

Enjoy the buzz while you can. lol

They said the coming days it would certainly get worse, and they
actually said a lot worse. Silly me, I thought I was going to be ok.
Was walking around pretty good last night and had little difficulty
going up and down the few stairs in and out of my garage. Woke up
feeling pretty good still.

Then just like that everything changed. The good hospital meds and the
nerve block are long gone, and it swelled up like a grapefruit. Now
it's starting to get black and blue. I'd say the knee is worse than
either a hip or shoulder replacement, especially since it affects you
getting around. Guess it's gonna be hard for a couple days, but I know
I can take it, though I might have to double up on the pain meds. ;-)
