On the ROAD - to recovery that is....
For those that know me, you know I was severely injured in a motorcycle accident some years ago. As a result of those injuries I've had to wear a brace on my right leg for the past 6 years or so. Well...

Dennis, glad you are on the mend. My wife had one knee replaced a few years ago and it was several months before she was fully recovered. She has RA so that complicated things.
I am a retired hospital executive and one of my areas was orthopedics. I worked closely with the surgeons and became fascinated with the complexities of joint replacement. I observed many cases in the OR. The advancements in techniques and the implants are impressive. Once over that initial period of post op pain, most knee replacement patients did very well. True also for hip replacements, especially with the newer minimally-invasive procedures.
Get back on the road and enjoy your new bionic knee :-)
