What are you doing right now??

I am now 2 months post op for knee replacement. A month ago the doc did a manipulation under anesthesia to increase range of motion. Still doing physical therapy 3 days a week and I now have 110 degrees range of motion and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am finally able to get out and do some shooting. My LEOSA annual qualification is in 2 weeks and dove season is coming up. That knee has been the center of my universe for 2 months, man is this a personal experience to remember. Looking forward to life returning to normal, whatever that is supposed to be. Lunch with the Posse today, life is good.

It's been 3 months for me on my total knee replacement. My recovery is going well. I joined a gym a few weeks back when my physical therapy ended. I wear shorts all the time, and it's funny how so many people come up to me and tell me about their knee surgeries (you can see the surgery scars on both my knees).

Glad to hear its going well. Gotta love modern medicine sometimes.

I'm glad to hear you are doing well, Hayes. I know what you mean...not personally, but my husband had a total knee replacement last May. His recovery went well, but his knee stiffens up easily (especially when he overworks it, which he tends to do often). He switched jobs from a boiler technician to licensed boiler operator shortly before his surgery, which turned out to be a good thing because he can't kneel with that knee anymore so he can't crawl around inside industrial boilers anymore. As time goes by, he is discovering other things that are more difficult for him to do. He just adapts and soldiers on.

I do hope your recovery will allow you to get back to doing what you love and that you don't find so many restrictions in your activity. I know it drives you nuts, but slow and easy does it. I think my husband's hero attitude probably cost him some mobility. He deals with it.
 
Good morning!

Wow, you guys and your knees. 🙏

Indeed, life is good. And the next one will be perfect.

I'm happy to hear both of you are healing and recovering. But I think you've given my knee ideas. It's been sore and "crunchy" lately. My deep knee bends sound like cracking walnuts. I have hardware from a reconstructive surgery after shattering my kneecap in a motorcycle wreck. I must get out and mow the yard today. I think I'll take some preemptive ibuprofen. ;)

You guys, keep getting better. You'll be running marathons in no time.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I can't discuss the details or answer many questions at this time, but I can tell you that the Gen II Blackfeather RS will be lighter and more compatible with modern accessories than the Gen I RS. Progress will accelerate from this point on... I renewed my Import permit this morning in anticipation of bringing the finest M14/M1A chassis stock system ever devised to you the American citizen sooner than later.

Well back from showing all the local hotspots here. First started off at White Sands National Monument this morning, then went to the International Space Hall of Fame. Had some lunch then went out to local pistachio farm and store then took him to the Mescalero Apache Casino, lost our money so I showed him where all the flooding took place in Ruidoso NM. After 200 miles finally made it back to the house. I need a nap!
