Your in my prayers for a quick recovery STEP.
Thanks.....I know we talked about this before but is it outpatient now?
Yes.
I was feeling good the next day of course I was pumped full of loritab.
Just make sure you do your rehab, and you will be fine.

and behold I looked in the sky, and saw a rider on a pale horse, the rider's name was death, and Lil Sooner followed after,....Revalations
Yeah I m sure I will be too. I hope I can get back to work soon..I told them to ampute and give me one of these
Mine was on 4/1 and I'm still walking a little funny(funnier than usual). I have to agree with Lil' about the rehab. I didn't think that I needed it, probably because I was pumped full of Lortab for the first week. It's definitely a surgery that you'd want to strictly follow the Doc's orders IMO. Good luck and prayer's sent.

Make sure you get a Knee CPM, it's Durable Medical Equipment you rent, who's your Dr if you don't mind me asking?

I'm about 10th in line giving this advise but do your rehab.
REHAB!
There were hawt babes where I did my rehab.
I never missed a visit.
How quickly after surgery does the rehab start? I did the rehab after my first surgery on it, so I m sure I will keep up with it...
I forgot the name of the surgeon...He's in Ft Smith
Are they using cadaver parts on you? That will ultimately turn you into a zombie, you know that, it is in the literature.
I turned my foot around backwards a few years ago. It sucks being on crutches, but you will get good at it. Here is to a speedy recovery!
So... the consensus is don't be Amy Winehouse and go to rehab?

CPM is Continual Passive Motion and it speeds up your recovery time by FAR!

Good luck with the surgery.
Get yourself one of these, you'll be glad you did.
If you're having an ACLR you should be discharged same day as surgery and receive a CPM machine that you'll begin working with that night.

Mine started 2 weeks after the surgery but I had to convince the Dr. to send me. I think he thought I should just be OK in a couple of weeks and be right back to work crawling around on my knees and climbing ladders.
He thought I was on a Worker's Comp claim for some reason.
If you have it done under Workers Comp...God Bless You.
I did 5 weeks of therapy after that and then returned to work.
I'm glad I took the time to heal.
I still was only at a 50% load factor when I went back.
My surgery was 1/31/08 and I am now able to tolerate kneeling with a thick kneepad. I can't do it all day but if I just need to get low to fix something, I can now.
I never got a Cool machine.
I feel used.
I scored me one of these and it came in today just in time....So thanks for letting me know about it..
BTW, Dont forget to say your prayers for the ol pimp tomorrow
tons has changed since I had three replaced more'n 20 years ago.....
pimpin ain't easy, do your rehab.
I taste terrific.
I know when I tore it (12 years ago) the surgery sounded a lot more grueling than it does now...still is gonna suck though..
I guess I will have time to watch the seinfield seasons 1-7 that I recently purchased
