I'll be in Washington DC planting software bugs in Steves Digital Presentation ! Really though, my wife is getting her right knee replaced that week so I don't think I'l be there... BTW: The left knee she had done in January was beyond sucessful. We were already out hiking last weekend and she was complaining that the right knee now hurt more than the left knee...

Good luck on your wife's surgery...see if they have an extended warranty! Steve  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-09-2009 08:54 PM                     Thanks Steve! Nope, no warranty on stuff like that and she has to go through all the therapy stuff associated with it after the surgery. Once she's done with that though its more or less back to normal. In replacement knees its generally just the plastic joint spacer that eventually wears out. Her left knee replacement has a thicker spacer (18mm) then normal(6 to 8mm) because they had to remove some arthritic bone. So they are saying it'll last her her the rest of lifetime. The right one should get a normal thicknes spacer so it's possible she may need that one replaced in 15 or so years. Its pretty amazing though... she got to the point that she couldn't even go shopping at the store... now the new knee is at about 97% recovery and she has far greater knee flex. Almost 120 degrees after the therapy was over compared to about 87 degrees with the old knee. Now I can't keep her down.. the next surgery will do that though for a short while! Then its back to exploring mines and riding horses for her.

I never realized that Showest was running into April this year. I will be in Vegas from April 1st through the 4th. On vacation and uhhh... kinda getting married too.. For those of you not aware, my previous ten year marriage went out the door back in 2007. I met someone who makes me very happy and since we both were married previously - we decided to go out to Vegas and get married. I was on the phone with a friend in Vegas today who thought I was going to attend Showest and get married (like I would plan these two things together!). That's when he informed me that Showest is running up to April 2nd. I had no idea. Anyways - maybe I'll run into a few people out there. Wait, never mind, other than the marriage ceremony - we won't be outside the hotel much.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-11-2009 11:12 PM                     Yea, good luck on that one Mark - you got a great wifey there!
