NEW YORK (AP) — Jane Fonda has undergone surgery to replace her left knee.

The Oscar-winning actress had the operation Tuesday, and blogged about it beforehand.

In a wistful post titled "So Long Old Knee" on her Web site, Fonda wrote that her knee joint was to "be sawed out and in its place will go a titanium rod and ceramic joint."

According to Fonda, it had been "a strong, faithful knee." She said it helped her "up a lot of steep mountains and across rugged terrain." And she recalled smooches by former husband Roger Vadim (vah-DEEM'), who liked to kiss her knees.

“She didn’t go to glorious Cuba, land of free health care, for her surgery??”

She took Fidel’s advice. When he needed surgery to fix his intestines, he left and went to Spain. So much for Cuba’s wonderful health care system.

I hope there is a bar right next to her grave. Every Vet I speak with has the same plan.

She’ll float.

“That would be despicable, wouldn'it?" Hell no, more like appropriate!

She should have bought better knee pads for servicing her commie pals.

There was someone on the radio roday saying her back is bad, bad knee, replaced hip and something else and the point was contact exercise may have contibuted to all of this. She is as beaten up as a retired NFL lineman.

***Probably to late, but while they are at it … toss in a brain. ;-)

They tried but the surgery wasn't anywhere near her a$$

Hopefully she doesn’t come down with a staph infection from the hospital, because that would be tragic, just tragic.

I don't know how true it is but somebody once posted that the Jane Fonda workout was actually damaging to the body, especially the knees.

She said it helped her "up a lot of steep mountains and

... onto North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns. Stepping on our troops exercises the knee quite well.

I have read that a lot of 60-yr-old women have bad knees and ankles from doing Hanoi Jane’s high impact workout routines in the ‘70s. They should sue her.

And I’m sure she is all for nationalized health care where she would have to wait a few years for a new knee.

Figures that it would be the left one.

And I’m sure she is all for nationalized health care where she WE would have to wait a few years for a new knee.

There, fixed. Socialist elites and traitors would always be moved to the head of the line.
