Ingrid my better half was 20 and doing student teaching 41 years ago.
Seems a young student tackled here in a softball game. Surgery was not
perfect but she worked on it. Gave me five kids!
She tried to hold off as long as possible as we hear it is only good
for about 15 years if lucky similar to heart bypass. Her mom and my dad
had it done so we sort of know.
Ingrid btw is named after the daughter of the god of war. Pretty
tough has been doing her own PT in a pool 3 times a week for years.
She intends to visit her 92 year old mom in Florida just before surgery
come home and plant her double impatient's and go on. Hell we may have
a wedding in two years.

I also did my own PT in the pool, but there is nothing to compare to
myofascial release and the way they help build up the area so the
muscles move faster after surgery. Anyway, it's only a suggestion.

As for the lasting period for the prosthetic; there is no date on the
new units. My doctor told me I will probably have this knee for the
rest of my life without problems. Also, I had computer assisted
surgery, so my leg is perfectly alligned and the length was even
fixed. I was a bit taller on the right, which always gave me pelvic
problems with cramps inside my groin.

Getting older sucks the big one, but I'm thrilled with life and glad
to be alive.
