My Son -- Double Knee Surgery

[butchlambert]

Chris had both knees replaced yesterday morning. Surgery went well, but he is hurting. He is walking and doing his PT. He will go home today. In his way of thinking he would hurt one time instead of twice.

fast recovery!!

 

[sam da man]

Wishing him a speedy recovery, the pain and agony will be worth it,but the recovery takes time and in the beginningis pure hell. God bless and good luck

Praying for fast recovery Butch. I had the right knee replaced a couple years ago. Most painful recovery I ever had, it was worth it though.

Was he the football player a few years ago?
Regardless I hope he heals well and quickly.

No sir, he is the father of our football player.

Had mine replaced 7 weeks apart, I think having both done at the same times slows recovery. Hope I'm wrong and he does great!

Chis explored both one or two and thought suffering one time was his personable best bet. We have family that have done it both ways. Time will tell.

I did the same with knee surgery (not replacements)

Morning constitution is the worst of it.

He has a Toto toilet that is a lot higher and one of my retired employees brought over a mechanism that fits over it with adjustable arm holds. He has 2 icewater pump machines, a walker, and crutches. I think he is good to go with equipment.

Never under estimate the power of prayer

Cool. The ice water pumps were a large help for me .... but you have to be careful in how you feed them, they can get painfully cold all of a sudden. At first you go aaaaaaaaaaaaaah ...... then aaaahh oooouch !

had both knees replaced

I should have done that 15 - 20 years ago. Now I'm too old and am going to go out with my original (but modified) parts.

We are familiar with the pumps. Wife used one and a couple other family members. My wife cannot take any pain meds and the ice pump saved her.

Well, my Son is 60yrs old and he was years past due for getting it done. For the last year or so he has been working from a custom roll around cart. He couldn't walk over 10-15 feet.
