Wanted to wish Bob a speedy recovery from his knee replacement.

Maybe one will be shaking a little less.

Like to see him to get back to fun stuff like boating and iboats.

I hear they use swimming pools to help with rehab. Maybe you can get your doc to prescribe a bunch of boat time on the lake instead and call it good.

Then he can bill the ins.co for rehab cost

Re: Bob_VT's knees are shaking

Thank you everyone.

I had my left knee done mid May of this year and the right one was just done on this past Wednesday in Hanover NH. My fantastic and supportive wife picked me up and drove me home today. I have allot of pain but, the end results will be worth it.

I have even left my boat in storage this summer due to the two surgeries. My wife (and I) know that having the boat in the yard will be too much temptation to leave alone. I am just planning on boating twice as hard next season ;)

I did try to keep up with forum stuff on my iphone while in the hospital however.............. high doses of morphine :p and a tiny phone made it fairly humorous on my end.

Tomorrow the visiting nurses are coming over to get my rehab/recovery started. The replacement knees are Cobalt-chromium Alloys and plastics.

Thanks again for the prayers and support!

Bob

I love Cobalts!!! MY favorite model is the 23 LS, but the 252 is pretty dang sweet as well. Didn't know they were half tinny/half plastic though. Cool :cool:

Yes GET WELL SOON, and no you will never go quickly through airport security again. :facepalm::D

Water jokes aside I did all my rehab from a hip replacement in a pool. It really helps.

Well I'm glad to see there weren't FG, but you couldn't get an aluminum one, too bad.

Best of luck with R&R.

Re: Bob_VT's knees are shaking

They use closed end or pop rivets on that repair? Either way, I'm sure they dabbed on some Gluvit so you should be all set;):D

Heal up quick Bob!:)
