Good news for me. NO CANCER!!! My knee cap had broken off at the end and thats what they saw in the X-Ray. Both side of my knees had torn cartlidge and had bad artritis which they scrapped. Hell of alot of pain and all I can take is Tylenol. They left the broken part of my knee cap in as it's not causing much pain(HaHa) Thought you all like to know:)
Wow that is great news Bart! We've heard so much bad lately its nice to see someone get a break. I know what you are going through with the knee. I had major reconstructive surgery on mine back in 85'. Worse part was gettin into and out of bed and sleeping. I was black and blue from my crotch to to the heel on my foot. Ankle was the same size as the thigh because of swelling. Went hunting Mule deer in Baggs Wyoming two weeks later. Feels fine now, but still can't fully lock my knee.
thats great news .why would they leave your busted knee cap still in that is like a rering job and throwing the old rings in the oilpan when done ?
Thank God. I have been thinking about you all day. Even though we never met it bothers me when I know someone is having health problems I have my share but I am good health right now.Be carefull with those knees. Francis
Oh wow, that is fantastic. :D Bet you feel like you've been given a new lease on life tonight. We are all so happy for you and relieved. I got up wondering about how you were this morning, thanks for letting us know.
Somehow I think you will not mind the pain too much tonight. :) :)
Prayer does work.

Bart---I',m really glad that you are okay. I prayed for ya.---Brian
Thanks for sharing your good news,haven't heard much lately. Heal up soon,Hank
Good news now a little r&r feet up and the wife will bring you food .
Thanks for all your replys. Nice to know that people care and this club has great people who do. The only bad part yesterday was that I had to have a spinal because I have Moderate COPD and my breathing is not what it use to be(34 years of smoking). I was numb from the waist down for 7 hrs. and now I know how people who are paralized feel. Not much sleep last night, but this AM a bit better. They left the broken knee cap in because its fused with another part of my knee? and said to take it out would be more trouble than to leave it alone. Sorry for the delay in getting back but my harddrive is loaded with spam and I've got to get it cleaned since all sorts of interesting crap is popping up every minute.:(
Well, ya gotta be careful when the Dr. starts pulling them used parts out of you.... Well, unless they have some resale on them and he splits the $$$$$ with you!!!!
no the DR. make more money keeping the bad parts in you dave :whacked: **)Quote:

Good news Bart,just take it easy.I had knee surgery last fall,I have a few Vicadin left over if the Tylenol dosen't work,please advise.LOL LOL
That's terrific news Bart!
Way to go Bart. Our prayers were answered. Can't keep a good man down. Do you think the bad knees are from your boxing days?
Pat
Don't know about my boxing days, but maybe from the(few) bar fights I got into:LOL:
Hey Bart, Streets told me about some of those!!!! (LOL)
Pat
P.S. Maybe we will see you this year at the Father's Day show.
Bart, just wondering how the healing is coming???
Don
Don, it's coming slow and now I developed blood clots in my calf so now I'm on blood thinners. I don't know how they expect me to get back to work in 2 weeks:confused:
Yep, keep an eye on those clots, kinda normal after some surgery, but just take it slow. Go back to work when YOU feel you are ready.
