Dave this will be surgery #25.
The big ones are....
Lost a kidney in 1965 & died on the table.
Had a couple follow up surgeries after that to fix me.
Had 8 knee surgeries on each knee & a couple of back surgeries before the below.
Fused w/2 rods & 4 screws from C4 to C7
Fused w/2 rods, 6 screws & a metal cage around L4/5/S1
Total R Knee replaced(L still needs to be done)
R shoulder rebuilt....
and now this......................................


Thanks everyone, hopefully I will heal like I have in the past I should be way ahead of schedule in no time.
When they did my total knee I was walking w/out a walker, crutches or a cane by week 4.
I did NO real Physical Therapy other then what I did on my own.
The doc figured after all my surgeries on my knee's I should know what to do & I did.
On my shoulder at week 11 my PT guy said I was closer to week 20 on their rehab schedule.
So hopefully all will be good.
If ya get bored come on by & help hold down the couch for a while.....joe
