Wish me luck everyone!

Well everybody, wish me luck! I'm leaving for knee surgery in 5 minutes. I'll hopefully be able to get a few models more than usual this week. See you guys later!


Jarrod,

Been there, done that. Good luck....more so on the recovery than the surgery itself. The recovery and physical rehabilitation is the most important aspect. Don't neglect it!

Good Luck!

Had mine done in 2008! No cartlidge in the right knee now...Works great and feels thousands of times better than it did before the surgery!

Make sure to listen to the surgeon on when/how to rehab it!!

Best thing going for pain control? = IceMan (small cooler with a pump inside that circulates ice-cold water to the knee) Don't buy ice cubes though, use the throw away plastic lunch containers that you can freeze Big Cubes in the freezer!

Iceman is very expensive but worth it! Several surgeries in the past and the iceman helped better than anything else!

Mountain bike helped with my recovery when told I could ride, Doc said, "it gets the juices flowing, which lubricate the knee joint!".

Well, just woke up from the fastest surgery on my knee I've ever had! Thankfully, it was just a follow up for muscle surgery I had last month. Now time for the worst week off from school ever!
