g under p, vvovv man that sound pretty much like a buzz don there on the polo fields. nope i've never savv a polo game. those horse are high dollar i bet, it amazes me the amounts of dollars in horse racing. high fucking dollar horses.
mabe i'll ge me a bike this summer. svvimming & biking should help me out nicely. did you ride today? happy birthday mr. g under p. you made it further than my dad, he checked out at 52 / a massive heart attack. im 42.in 10 yrs i plan on being alive & vvell
Yes those horses are extremely expensive, anywhere from 100k-300k. Many are brought here from South America and elsewhere around the world. The polo season ends next month with a grand finally match where stars are brought in for one super party.
Omg I'm so sad to hear your father passed away at 52. That kind of early mortality hasn't even crossed my mind. Only constant aches and pains that's starting to make me walk funny.
I'm currently nursing a 90 year old WWII veteran. He's from Boston like me and does tells me a few stories from the war. He was 19 when he fought in Germany and France he tells me "I fought haard everyday for four years". Even liberated a concentration camp, went unto Brown University on the GI Bill graduated MCL. Then became wealthy in the shoe business. The sweetest guy who wants to live to 100, he'll make it with exercise even though he's had altzhiemer for 10 years now. I hope I can make it that far.

i love your VVVVII guy. he's a trooper for sure. those guys slept on the ground after fighting days & nights at a time. i hope he lives to see a lot more goodness out of more miracles.

so you're a nurse?
Yeah, I have him until June when they go back to Boston then comeback in October-November. I hope to get him strong enough to go out at night. I wanted to take him with me to a Red Sox spring Training game today against the Cardinals but he's not ready for all that it entails. Hopefully on the 24th when the Sox come back against the Marlins.
I'll tell him about the game and I'm going to try and get him into painting. He has an oceanfront penthouse, it's so awesome when I come in in the mornings and what seems like the entire Atlantic Ocean is in front of me. It's a view that should be painted, or at least an attempt to paint it.
It's funny I used to teach pre-school and run an after school/summer camp for 10 years. I have to tell you the young and old spectrum is about the same. We seem to as we age to come full circle in the patience that's needed to care for both sides. It's the best feeling after leaving him and after all that he's done for this country that I've made him feel good for another day.

Hey thanks hedonist I'm sitting here with him after his breakfast talking about yesterday's game and how good the Six looked. Today I have boxing in store him for exercise.
Him and his wife gave a beautiful b day card and a nice cash some for me. The card was absolutely perfect it says....so many people think so much of you for so many reasons.....your sense of humor and positive attitude and the way you make people smile and feel good about themselves. You're a person to be admired and celebrated. And you are. Wishing you a very happy birthday.
Thats what the card said. Then him and his wife signed it.
Man it doesnt get any better than that.:-)
Peace and love to all today. STAY HUMAN

I was wondering if you were home Chad. That must be an uplifting feeling get better man. My day will come when I'll have this done to my right knee.
Say how long have the doctors told you before you'll get to be near 100%?

they're having a physical therapist stop by tvvice a vveek to check up on me. last friday i as getting a 90 degree bend vvhile sitting. yesterday (monday) i as getting a 95 degree bend in both legs as i sat there put my leg back as far as i could push it. the therapist asks if he can help & push my leg back/force it further back a fevv more degrees.
im guessing i got a good 100 degrees or better. guess vvhat?
fuck that fuck this & that sure is one painful maneuver it's vvorthy of letting out moans, groans, shouts & screams if that is vvhat you do vvhen under going agony, it's a torturous experience.
i gotta do my leg/knee stretches. soon a yoga master. yogivvick no one here has had a knee replacement or three? can any medical professionals out there tell me about bone cement? i been looking it up online a bit but im not having much luck

I keep reading your double-v's as a hard v.
It's vorthy!
Seriously, I'm sorry for the pain you're going through - but you are a badass motherfucker, chadwick. I've read how you've surpassed so many obstacles.
34 staples (each knee) up & dovvn that bastardt. i'm thinking that picture & the others vvould make for a nice collage. i actually asked to keep those staples, the nurse said sure. i ended up leaving them behind. shoulda took them & displayed them next to the ultra sound image of one of my testicles
hedonist, i don't knovv about all that but thanks for the compliment. i just try hard & don't vvanna quit. mostly i've learned that life is difficult but in the blink of an eye could easily be so much vvorse.
let me tell you vvho is tough & angelic - my girl friend diane
i vvanna knovv about bone cement. post info if any of you find something or knovv something. you vvill be revvarded
since the therapist helped push my leg back yesterday, my legs/knees are stiff & svvollen & i can't say if it is moreso or not but vvhen i do my heel sides/pushing my legs back under me as i sit in a chair, it hurts as if the therapist is here pushing on my legs. is something vvrong or is it just hovv it goes, good days/bad days vvhich is vvhat i am thinking
Hmmm. Wish I knew more of the technical aspects of the surgery itself. All I really know about cement is what ocean already stated above. Maybe gimmesometruth can help? I also forwarded your wonderings to another forum member who might be able to help.
What I do know is that 100 degrees of bend in the knee means you rock. I'm always grateful to not be a physical therapist who has to inflict that pain on patients post knee replacement. The fact is, the more range of motion you have the better your gait will be... Less chance of limping, more fluid motion. I assume you are pre medicating before your physical therapist shows up? Ice after. Hang in there chad. Awesome that you have Diane to support you right now too.
Can you extend your knees completely straight?

vvhen toads mates they can literally ignore a crovv pecking on them long enough that the crovv vvinds up eating the toad's liver & the toad not even giving a crap until some time later vvhen the toad explodes like a balloon. just savv this on nat-geo vvild
thank you, ocean & shetells. ocean, i'll check out the link you posted right directly. i'll be into the 100+ degrees before to long. at least that is vvhat should, vvhat must happen so that the dr. doesn't have to sedate me & force the bendings vvhich vvhen explained to me sounded like nearly breaking the healing knees. vvell frigg that, i'll do my exercises & get to 100+. im at 95, or vvas anyvvays, not sure im at 95 degree today or not. that forced bullshit yesterday jacked me over
yes i can extend my legs out straight (like vvhen lying dovvn raise it up, leg locked. or vvhen sitting lift the leg out straight)

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Good days and bad days is the way of it, I think. I too, am glad that I don't have to inflict that sort of pain on people. Of course I don't seem to have too much trouble jabbing them in the ass with a needle when they need it. But I do it well. The therapist is helping you push that joint further than you are able to yourself. It does cause a little local trauma and resulting inflammation. But it is necessary to get back your mobility. Definitely pre-medicate and ice after. Lots of water to flush the system after a session.
As far as what it is made of there are several manufacturers. Some include antibiotics in the mix, but I don't know if all do. But essentially, it is a polymer based material.

nearly all my muscles get tight & go into spasms vvhen i stand more than a fevv min. vvalking is different than standing still. i can vvalk my vvalkers around longer than i can shovver
