I'll have your portion for you then ol' mate ;)
Good luck with the op, you having it up there?
When I was in Darwin the orthopaedic was so unsure of his ability to do my back operation (due to resident experts being in East Timor) and told me 'if you are in pain, maybe get on a plane - go to Adelaide' - in his best Indian/English accent.

i know how you feel, in a few months I'm gonna go under the knife on my groin- osteitis pubis.
Mate came out of this with no pain so done good on that. Started moving on a frame yesterday & advancing to crutches today. 70% bend of knee yesterday so far so good. Got to get it to 90%. Everybody touch wood (head). Lol. Have to as going to Hong kong in March.
Junky you'll be ok as I was skeptical but as stated all good so far.
Have been told all being good outta here on Monday.
Nice naste 8). In and out in a week :).
Hope all is well with your knee naste
Ta for that have got it to bend now to 80% just rehab work at home tightening and strengthing of the leg etc etc. Got to get it to 90% +
Drugs are helping it along tho. Dreading getting on the bike as reckon that first of will be a killer.

yep looked at him with a puzzled look but reckons use your heel and pedal backwards as not too much strain straight up on it easeing into it.
Ah, alright.
got to wait another week before going into swimming tho.
hope you are all good naste :)
Yep riding the bike today have conquered the back n forward (Set @ no resistance) of the pedals so yep feeling pretty chuffed ATM.
So no other part of your body is hurting with the extra exercise you are doing?
nope all good bruising is tight to be expected but ok

good to hear are you going to have complete movement of the knee at any stage like you would have done prior to the op or will there be restricted movement now this is the last time you can get this procedure done.
Nah a girl I know of has had 3 totals won't stop playing netball, so in with the new out with the old. I will do all the exercises & more & will look after it & today the pain is less then the I had prior to the new one. So in essence have done the right thing in my eyes. Ha ha can't wait till I go thro the security at the airport, bells n whistles will be going of.lol
so you have a metal knee now?
Titanium / Stainless no rust no squeaks.
will that go off at airports?
It will. Probably have to tell them before hand that he has metal inserted in his knee ;).
Nah wanna see it go of, have a card on me, but still will get the wand waved over me lol. Wonder if they will grant me any wishes, being like a fairy godfather. lol
Haha ;D ;D. Just make sure it doesn't lead to a cavity search :P.
Yeah your right have to ask then for a 2nd one to make sure all ok. :o
Nice Naste :D
I have always wanted that but I never had the guts to walk through that thing with a knife in my pocket :P
Yeah....
