8Ball Update
Thanks for all the well wishes. Was realeased from the Hospital just a few hours ago. Surgery went well. I'm very soar, especially today with the rain. I'll be getting in home PT three times a week starting tomorrow which is good as I will not need to go out.
Recovery will be slow for the next couple of weeks, but at last I'm at home. These doctors are amazing. I have a total knee replacement on Thursday and was up out of bed on Friday. Did a 30 foot walk on Saturday morning and 150 in the eve. Hit the 500 foot mark Sunday. After each walk, many naps.
PT is strenueous, but well worth doing to get the flex back in the leg.
On Friday, I was able to bend 25 degrees, 35 on Sat, 60 on Sund and 77 today. That's just impressive.
I was a little loopy on Friday but did send some pictures of the scar to some via text.

Glad to hear you're doing so good man. From what I hear- 70 degrees is outstanding after a week out and you did it in just four days! Thats great. I guess you'll be walking to Stefanina's this Thursday?.

I'm going to skip Strefanina's this time. It's just going to be to much I'll be back next month though.
