By the time you read this, hopefully, I will have my NEW PARTIAL LEFT KNEE. Unlike too many people, I did not wait until all three points that the knee rests on deteriorated to bone on bone and I only had one of three of those points is bone on bone.
They tell me that the surgeon is going to resurface/reshape that one point and insert what looks like a piece of plastic that is supposed to have a life expectancy of 30 yrs..
The procedure is supposed to be dramatically less barbaric than a total knee replacement, with less pain, a shorter recoup period of 3-4 months as opposed to 6 to 12 months with a total knee.
I don’t have to have a 3-day stay in a hospital stay nor a week+ stay in a PT REHAB.
Going to have PT at home for a couple of weeks and then go to out pt rehab, which is about 2 miles from our home.
Not sure how many days I will be on the “sidelines”

Here’s hope for healthy healing and recovery and THANKS for all you do to keep us informed!
My prayers go up for you and the missus. Max had a total replacement. Actually great we had a two story house and slept upstairs. The stairs was a good workout for a new knee. I wish you well.
