Well I just got home from the VA hospital with the news that I have been trying to get for over 5 years. I finally have been approved for knee replacement surgery with my first one shheduled for May 16. Boy am I one happy old fart now. I will miss some of the good fishing but that is okay. So if you all will say a prayer that everything goes okay I will really appreciate it.
Congrats on the approval and prayers for a speedy recovery!

Congrats for finally getting the approval and prayers for it going well. When I have heard of some not going well, it has usually been because of the patient not following the doctor's orders and those of the physical therapist after the surgery. Do not try to do something you are not supposed to too early. Occasionally there can be some infection from the surgery but that seems rare. Most have been very happy afterwards and wished they had done it earlier but they were questioning it for a while after the post-op and during the therapy.

Don, I am very happy for you getting the good news on approval for knee replacement. I know you really want and need this. We all will cover the prayers for a successful surgery and great recovery. We can try to wear out the Crappie between now and time of the surgery so you won't feel like you have missed too much !
sinkermaker thanked you for this post
Congrats Don on the news! I hope it will pass quickly for you. My second one was like a breeze, I knew what was in store for me and how to cope with it. Little fearful on the first not knowing what it would feel like and all that goes into the therapy. But I recommend it highly now to anyone! You'll do just fine because of your attitude toward it now. You are ready for it! Prayers sent and will be sent May 16th for a speedy recovery.
Ice will be your friend but don't over do it and bend the crap out of it when they tell you to!

Don, it's a piece of cake, I've been down that road about 4 or 5 years ago. Take the meds and stay ahead of the pain the first couple of days and by all means do the physical therapy and no short cuts on that either.
