Put some wheels on that walker and pretend you're on your Nomad!

Glad to hear your rehab is going good and you are healing nicely.

Sounds like things are looking up. We'll keep praying for a great recovery and that as spring rolls around, you'll be rolling too!

Just had work done on my right knee. Had things torn up, 2 bone spurs and so forth. So far, so good, do the therapy, and follow their directions. Mom had one knee replaced and sister had a half knee done. Biggest problem they had was getting flexibility back from not working thru the stiffness.

donoller · 11-19-2008, 02:24 PM

mine are not to stiff right now but sure dont like laying in bed so much. rehab has not been to bad. had two doctors at same time both had done ove 1000 knees.
