Here We Go Again CP! / UPDATED 02/06/20 Out of Surgery
 

Well, it's that time again. It is time to go back under a knife, replacing the left knee spacer and installing a knee joint. It has been a very trying, painful last year getting around with stiff legs from the infections I had.

For those who pray, all the help to the big man upstairs will be appreciated.

Go Chiefs! :arrow:

UPDATE

Out of surgery, sorry for the lack of posting yesterday! I was in so much pain, the pain medication was increased and I was out of it!

This is the the right knee, hopefully all goes well and rehab. works well!

Best wishes. Hope all goes well,friend.

I'm on it... Good luck..

Hopefully no infections this time. Good luck to you.

May God grant you grace and a quick recovery.

I think knee replacements are pretty smooth any more, Roy.
Praying for ya.
Just hope the one that gets you up to walk is gentle.

~ouch

God speed man. Good luck.

All in on that

If Roy hasn’t died from what he’s been through yet, this will be a cakewalk

Best of luck Roy, you got this!

You'll do fine, Mr. ROYC75. Knee replacements are common as millennial hookers these days. Still, I will gladly consult with The Great Spirit on your behalf.

Pro-tip, though ... before surgery, be sure and make tags for both knees. Make one that says, "FIX THIS ONE" and another tag that says, "NOT THIS ONE" and attach one to each leg using either twine or a rubber band or a long twist tie or whatever you have handy. Write legibly. And use a permanent marker so there's no risk of smearing. Most important point, however ... be sure not to get them mixed up.

Good luck Roy. Double check the spacer. If it's the wrong size you'll be constantly walking in circles.

Hang in there, good luck, best wishes coming your way...

Best of luck ROY. I hope this time goes much smoother for you man.

All the best Roy

Hope it goes good with no post-op infections. Take care Roy we are pulling for you!

BEST OF LUCK, hoping that everything will turn out fine!

Best of luck friend. Keep the infection bugs away

Good luck and a quick recovery this time.

Sending good vibes, sir.

Godspeed, Roy.

God be with you.

Good luck, hope everything goes well for you.

I pray!

Prayers up and out to you Roy!

You are one tough cookie. Good luck as you deserve it with all the shit you've dealt with.

Another tip, after following the Mighty Fax suggestions, do NOT cross your legs for one second. Some doctors are not very smart.

Okay CP, we got a late start 10 AM,came back to life about 12:15 PM. I am stuck in my room and naturally I hurt like HELL. Been here before it's time to Rehab.

Damn, posting off my phone is a f_ing challenge under thes drugs!

Best of luck, Roy.

One knee in front of the other Roy :thumb:

Hope your rehab stay goes quick and you get home soon.

And make the therapists job easy, don't refuse working with them!

Best of luck.

Good luck, Roy. I'm sure you'll be kneeing people in the groin in no time.

Oops.. Not sure how I clicked the thumbs down. Rep sent

Glad the surgery went well Roy.

Hey good luck man. hope everything works out!

Be careful! Lots of pain management drugs can..."Dry you out"! I can personally attest that 7 days without a good BM makes one....miserable.

Gone in 60 seconds? Naw, but....
 

Being at home in 60 hours is awful damn fast!:eek:

Still got a tube up your pecker?
Sec

Yes but getting you out of the hospital where there are so many infections with your history of infections is probably a damn good idea.

Good!

Save some of the Medicare dollars for the rest of us!!!!

Just wondering how the rehab and recuperation was going for ya. Have you been running Reeks hill yet?

Inquiring minds DO want to know!!!

I have to admit, seeing Alex Smith thread today with him walking gave me a lot more optimism and hope with my recovery. It has been three years since I've had two knees put in, being 62 years old now and 3 years older, it does make a hell of a difference. I just have to take it one day at a time, slow down , I've been going too fast and too hard and it's over working both knees, especially since I only have 1 knee and not two.

My biggest problem is I have never been lazy and being dormant for the last year-and-a-half has really gotten into my mind and it's driving me nuts I want to get up and go.

Best of luck man. It’s a difficult task but it’s the one you’ve got.

Hang in there Roy!

Good luck Roy Prayers for your speedy recovery. Listen to those specialists and particularly those rehab nurses.

GOOD GRIEF, NOT AGAIN?

Currently at the E.R., they are treating my left knee for some type of infection! :banghead:

I feel snake bitten!

Good news, white cell count is good, my CRP levels is good.

Hears hoping they can ward this off!

Tell them to pour some alcohol on it. :)

But seriously, hope they get it figured out quickly and you can get out of there. You've certainly had a run of shit luck.

Damn Roy, at this point I'd say you definitely are snake bitten. Sounds like they have the antidote though. Good luck.

If your white count is good hopefully it is a localized deal and they can get it.

Right now any infection scares the HELL out on me!

Currently getting IV and Antibiotics.

Ask a lot of questions, Mr. ROYC75. Even if it pisses off the doctors and makes the nurses weep and rend their clothing, make sure you understand exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it.

If you don't get cogent, convincing, and respectful answers, ask to see another doctor. By that I mean, demand to see another doctor. And think positively at all times.

Good luck, man.

Woof. Sounds like you speak from experience.

Rightfully so.

Just chill and whip this bitch.

All the best man.

It is locally around the incision, most likely cellulitis.

Thinking of you Roy.

Nuke that shit from orbit.

Here We Go Again, it's Time for the Right knee!
 

Today, 20 months after that June 2018 day infection attacked both of my artificial knees, the right knee is going back in at 10:30 am.

That infection just about killed me! It has been a long hard painful recovery . But know this, its the 4th quarter, time to close this one out just like the others.

One day at a time!

Awesome year, let's finish this and have another!

Go get ‘em, sir.

You got this, buddy!

Positive energy headed your direction

Put the hammer down. You got this!

Good luck Roy! You deserve some positive mojo from all of us!

You got this dude, and prayers sent..

Do it brother.

Give 'em hell, Roy!

We are all rooting for you.

Go get em big dog.

Good luck and prayers Roy!

I AM OUT, DOING WELL SO FAR!

Here's to having a very successful time with the rehab, I'm actually looking for the workouts!

Go Chiefs, wasn't that AWESOME!

Glad to here it Roy. Now get in there and kick that rehabs ass...….but no too much just yet.:D

Great news, Roy!

Give em hell!

Great news... Hope the pain subsides.

Great news roy!

You got this man. Slow and steady, slow and steady...

As Hill would say, "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Glad to hear it, man. Here's to hoping the infection stays out.
