Thanks, but you didn't miss anything. I do NOT have a broken leg. But I do need a knee replacement as soon as I get my act together and have it done. I just tend to put off unpleasantness as long as I can. I'm a wuss... Did you see where CRussell said he had pain for a week? That's enough to make me put off the surgery for the next 17 years!

Oh, but even then the pain was minor. After all, by the time you have a total knee replacement, you've been living with serious pain for quite a while. The pain I had was easily controlled with medication.

Talisker 10year. Nice. But wish I could score some of that Talisker 18 year that astra was flaunting.

Thanks for the good reports, folks. It's very encouraging. I'm NOT a fan of hospitals and have been trying to put this off as long as possible... At the same time, I've been missing good Thai street food... I guess the shrinks would call this an 'avoidance/approach' situation!

Does anyone else here ask for general anesthesia when getting a hair cut?

I missed the fact that you broke your wrist. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Sparkling lemon and lime with zero added sugar.

Got back to sleep OK, only to be woken at 8.27 by my wife telling me she had an appointment at the doctor's surgery at 8.30! We got there at 8.40. Wow.

Have a great vacation astra. You deserve it.

Paul, I've had mornings like that. The rush from awakening to arriving at your destination is an awful mix of sensations.

Thank you, it'll be 6 weeks or so before it comes out of the splint

I've been successfully putting it off for the past two years... I'm hoping that I can squeeze another two. They also want to fuse a couple of vertebra too, and I've managed to keep that at bay as well. When I can no longer do the things I want to do, that will be the point where I finally give in to the doctors. Fortunately, I no longer wish to dance the Limbo or fight in martial arts competitions. Reading, scuba diving, photography, and motorcycle riding don't cause me any problems so I can pander to my fear of hospitals a bit longer.

Stitchawl: My Aunt had her knee replaced and 6 months later was climbing temples at Macchu Pichu. She spent a lot of time on a bike at a rehab center. The bike was actually powered by an engine and forced her leg to move the way it was suppose to. She read a ton but her recovery was pretty fast.

I say go for it so it is easier for you to enjoy the things you love to do.
