I can walk!!!!!!
Some of the people here know I've been dealing with a bad right knee for the last 20 years. Too many years racing motorcycles professionally. I've had 12 major surgeries on it. 20 months ago I had a total knee replacement that got badly infected a week after surgery and then developed a stress fracture. Last May I had to have it redone completely. This one went much better.
This morning in the drizzle my walked the my first 9 holes in over 2 years. That was one of my major rehab goals. It's a little sore now but not too bad. Next week I'm going to try to walk 18. It may not be much to you but it's HUGE to me. Last edited by WKMCD; 10-17-2009 at 12:11pm. |

Congrats! What a difference a good surgeon makes. I've had 3 surgeries on my hand.

In the cold rainy drizzle, you went out and played 9 holes. Are you frickin nuts?
On the plus side, way to go gimp boy! How did you play? Swing changes working?

Congrads & Way to go, Kevin!!! Keep it up! I feel your pain - I've had 6 major abdominal surgeries. Recovery is always slow but you'll get there.
