The Ugh Thread

Any estimate on when?

I meet with him again in a month. He feels by that time we should be able to go ahead and get the ball rolling.

Just one knee bad? How is the other?

Other one is fan-damn-tastic. Zero issues. He showed my x-rays of both my knees, I told him that I wasn't a doctor but could tell right away which one was bad. He got a chuckle out of that.
Looking at those pics it's no wonder it hurts LF.

Yesterday I met with the dude who's going to give me a new knee. Can't schedule anything yet due to no elective stuff, yet. Ugh.

Sounds like something under the table , did u meet in a back ally ?

Don’t know jack about yoga
But I really enjoyed going to hot yoga. The heat makes some of the poses a bit easier

You GOT this !! GLad to hear you ARE going for it . You are way too damn young to let that Knee situation continue .

As a serious former collegiate level competitive jock you have the mental toughness to handle both the process and rehab ?? Its just another opponent . BOOM

And if you break your femur you'll probably get to ride in a helicopter so bonus

As a onetime femur breaker, I was too close to the base lodge to get the heli evac. Just make sure you don't cut the femoral artery, in which case it's curtains.

and it'll just cost a kidney, lol

good to hear camp, with todays medicine no one should suffer. I know plenty of active people skiing with one and two knee replacements

Thanks!
When the time comes I'll be 100% committed to go at it hard.

Yikes. How did you do that? Not everybody does a helo for a femur but that was the policy at Killington

Be sure that they mark the knee that DOESN'T need the surgery. Mistakes happen. Seriously.

You are correct. I'm 63.

Hah! That means I'm a little older than you.

Plenty of people (including husband) thought I was crazy to keep skiing without an ACL (not a skiing injury). That was about 10 years ago. I ski more complex terrain now than I ever thought possible when I started my daughter on skis 15 years ago. I do far more ski conditioning year round and worked on improving technique. In short, I ski smarter and intend to keep skiing for another decade or three.
