Man, I hate it when the wild oinkers poop in the tanks...makes the crappie taste funny...
El Gato, Hows the new ‘part’ working out? Moving nicely?
If I ever have a procedure on a main joint, Im gonna invest in a commercial-grade ice machine...lol
If I ever have ANOTHER prcedure, that is...
Heal well...
Getting there. PT lady measured 105 degrees of contraction today. Minimum goal is 110, ideal is 120-130. Other knee was 130 on Saturday at first PT session. She didn't measure how close to full extension the new knee is, but it's close it was only a few degree shy on Saturday.
Bad news is I got a skin infection. Makes walking on the leg rather painful. (That with the morphine sulfate). Was in E-room for 6 1/2 hours yesterday, because doc was in surgery. Did see him briefly but E room doc handled it. Unfortunately they had a couple of major trauma cases and took FReeking forever, FReezing our ashes off while we waited. Got right into treatment room, and then was there for 6+ hours. Now on antibiotics. They also scanned for blood clots as the the E-room doc suspected there might be one. She was wrong. sonic scan turned up negative, but was cool to watch. :)

I now have two of the knee systems. two cuffs and two coolers. Works great. Easy to put on.
