Total Knee Replacement: Broke Bit Mountin’ or Drill Baby Drill
Final report on my Total Knee Replacement ( da – da – dummmmmm)
A few of you are going through this surgery now and knowing the age and activity of some others, a few will have this surgery in your future.
I’m doing OK, except for Broke Bit Mountin’.
The doctor told me today that I have some extra metal in my knee that he had not planned on being there.
He broke a drill bit off in my femur.
“I do this about once a year, and you’re the lucky the one.”
Other than that the visit was pretty uneventful.
He said I was about where I should be in my recovery, which means I have stiffness (that’s what she said) in the morning and after exercise and after inactivity, some sharp pains from nerves healing, and about as much flex as I’ll get.
My Asian name is Mr. Meh Knee Dun
I knew you were hard headed, just didn’t realize it went all the way to your femur!
Now two of us have something to celebrate. So did they charge you more for the extra metal?

@ Catch Her In the Wry: Gotta be a lawsuit in there someplace right?
I hate myself for this pun, but I can’t resist:
Every little bit counts.

Oh yeah! I had completely knee replacement done myself a few years back, it’s no picnic allright. But you seem to have a good sense of humor about it, which is key! 🙂
