Tomorrow I finally go under the knife to get my knee fixed.

6 weeks on crutches and who know how many hours of physical therapy await me.

Hopefully I will be back to normal and ready by hunting season and the fall trials.

Good luck. Have two replacement hips and one rebuilt knee. Hope it is arthroscopic surgery for your sake. Those TKR's are alot of work to recover from. The one piece of advice I can give you is that you should go at that therapy absolutely as hard as they will let you. One reason is you recover faster. But the other is that if you let some atrophy start to happen, and it will without exercise, then you may never recover back to anything like 100%.

Good news, though, is that with some hard work you can get back out and chase those dogs.

Good luck

It will be some work but I'm sure you will find it well worth it when you get back to chasing the dogs. Pain is no fun and it seems to just get worse as you get older.

Good Luck
If you need to get your dogs out give me a yell and I come and run them for you. ( as long as nobody see's me with one of those long tails

)

Steve you can just kind of fold them in the middle and ducktape them so you have a pretty little loop on top.

good to hear you are feeling better and up and moving.... even if it is still hobbling around a bit.
