tinwhistle Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi sonny I visited with Ken for a short time last week Wednesday evening. Other than looking at both knee replacements he is good. He did mention that like myself, he seems to have trouble taking the time to get onto the forum.Seems the older we get the busier we get.......tinwhistle aka Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks tinwhistle.Glad to know he is well (except for the two knee replacements).Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks Sonny and ChrisSome of us guys need to get more regular. Not with Prunes mind you, but on the forum.Speaking of knee replacements, when I actually go under the knife/saw, I will have a long story about my trials and tribulations getting them done using the new Veterans Choice program. I now have met the surgeon that is going to perform the operations, but have not gotten an appointment for when!! Maybe I will have some good news soon.Thanks Chris and Sonny for your interest in my welfare.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinwhistle Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The way Pam tells it, they will replace his right knee first, then his left knee, and then his wee-nee !!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Yeh, Chris, I suggested they replace my knees in the order of importance!!!!!! Ken Edited October 16, 2015 by Mt.crewchief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's been almost a week since my left knee was removed and replaced and signed off. I would like to say that I and my knee are doing fine. But, I have started physical therapy, and I can see that it will take awhile before I can brag about my super recovery and all. Sonny, it's almost like the therapist is a former 21st TAS chief that lurks on this forum!! Or possibly the therapist was the old guy that had to work on a silver bird!! You know, the guy from Wisconsin. Anyway, I am doing good and am working hard to get the other knee ready for R&R in a few months. Thanks guys for your nice comments, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Glad to hear that you are doing well. My wife is a physical therapist and she says that knee replacements most always result in a big quality of life improvement. Hope you see the same results. --Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hang in there Ken and get well soon...by the way did they NRTS your old knee joint and turn it in to supply for overhaul? I can feel your pain as old Slick Willie Clinton used to say, since I just finished rotator cuff surgery a few months ago and the therapist from hell worked me over ha ha . I would address him as Mr. Meanie...he thought I was kidding. Was glad when it was over. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just a quick update--I am having my 2nd. knee replaced next week (Dec 17th) . I am hoping it turns out as good as the first one the last of October. Bill, I think you and I might have the same PT as you. After I get done with my next knee, I will concentrate on getting even with him! I know where he lives!!!! If you are reading this Chris, I am keeping the third knee. Actually, after a few days, (weeks?) I feel like I could climb up inside a Herk and then to the top to inspect the top of the wings!

Maybe they are sending them to AMARG for Coyote bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
