Good luck, Muggsy!

BTW - Tell the doc to be sure and clean & lube the new knee out of the box - and to rack & flex it two or three hundred times before installation.

ditto on the above. (stainless, alloy or polymer? got any parts numbers? might need some of those, hips too.)

I asked my doc about a couple bionic knees and the bastard laughed at me! Then he said whats the point?

He always thought he was a comedian.

[Armybrat]

Speaking of comedians, where's Jocko?

[Bawanna]

That's a good question? Where is Jocko? I'm slammed him a dozen times with no rebuttal, no wonder it wasn't any fun.

I'll check into that?

My wife doesn't care where I get my appetite as long as I come home for dinner.

Praying for you here Muggs!

Thanks Deacon, that may be a first. God knows I need it.

Best of luck Muggsy.

Surgery sucks, surgical recovery sucks more, but a good result can be a true life changer.

Keeping you in the prayers Muggsy.

I feel your anxiety... waiting for a hip replacement in the near future myself. Everyone tells me it's routine and easy surgery and I'll feel better afterwards. Hope yours goes well and recovery is quick. Keep us posted.

I know people who have had both knee and hip surgery. The hip is a far less complicated joint. It's far less painful to rehab and takes far less time to recover from. With a nerve block post surgical pain is practically non existent. Go for it.

Surprisingly, prosthetic knees and hips are a combination of stainless steel and polymer. I wouldn't be surprised if Justin Moon had a hand in their design.

I wish you all the best, muggsy. Love your sense of humour around this place.

Oh, two bits of advice:
1. The hospital gown opens in the back.
2. If you see this guy, don't walk--run away.

[muggsy]

Yikes! He looks a lot like my doctor. What did I get myself into, so to speak?

[Fedupmech]

I'm sure you will be fine. Don't forget all the prep work and Lube. Keep it wet when breaking it in. :-)

They say once you do one, you'll never do another, you've demonstrated to be exceptional. Good luck.
Lemme know if you need any medical equipment I have friends in the greater Cleveland area.
