    both knees. a double total knee replacement. it's a painful son of a bitch. you need 24 hrs care around the clock. after each day that goes by you'll be able to do more for yourself. if this vvorld (thanks mickrat for the vv) did not have powerful drugs vve vvould be in deep trouble. go vvatch that video i posted, find others & vvatch & vvatch folks vvho have put their stories up on youtube & read about the topic. it is all on you because if you don't do as much as you can therapy vvise, you'll jam yourself up 6 vvays from sunday. today marks one vveek since i vvas in the operating room.

    the lady of the house has these gnarly pictures vve're trying to figure out hovv to upload. ask her to see 'em. to bad she didn't get my coming out of anesthesia recorded on her gadget, that vvas a damn miracle just fulla torturous after effects that eventually (from hat im told) became pure comedy




    bilateral - having or relating to two sides; affecting both sides.

    Thank you Chad, I started TODAY working on getting back in shape. I did ten miles on my bicycle with nothing in particular I tried to work on.

    My birthday is on Tuesday (Double 5's) my next ride I'll work speed to get the heart rate up. Had to stop once I felt cramps starting up, it felt good to get into do something here in Florida. Not too hot 70 degrees with overcast riding past horses being prepped for International Polo matches here in Wellington, Florida. Have you ever been to a Polo match? It's the first sport I've ever been to where they give YOU alcohol (champagne the good stuff) FOR FREE. You must earn it though at halftime you go out on the field and replace the divets, they drive out unto the field in pick up trucks with cases and cases of champagne.

    Keep up with the exercises Chad you will benefit from them in the end.

    How you doing Chadwick?

    tough sucker here & i am being challenged vvith seriousness & vvith insane amounts of pain, all sorta of different pains: dull, sharp,shooting dovvn my tibia, it's just fucking nuts over here. been 11 days or so since the surgery (the 26th). i'm getting better & stronger everyday.

    from vvhat i gather very fevv ppl elect to have both knees done at the same time. in fact i guess most doctors don't even vvanna fuck around vvith bilateral knee job. i said yes because my surgeon is beyond confident as in he oozes the crap for others to scoop up & use. plus he said i am young, healthy & can handle the difficult ass bullshit that comes vvith it like a champ

    i vvanna have him over for a bbq. hen i see him vvednesday, to remove staples, he's getting a hug

    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.

    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.

    Peace

    .

    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.

    I remember being at a concert in the 90's where the audience was mooned by Mr. Tommy Lee whilst he was up in a lift high above the stage. :giggle: I am glad to hear that you are home Chad. That's makes everything better.
