Japan Adventure

Aug 6 – (12 days post-op) was my first post-op checkup.





























I came in on my walker, and Dr Bramlett said, “You don’t need that! Get up and walk!” So I did and I never used the walker again. Just my cane for a short while, which never failed to remind me of Igor in Young Frankenstein – “walk this way” . . . Also, it was a nice prop. It’s amazing how much nicer strangers are when they think you’re handicapped . . . However, no matter how many handicapped parking spaces there are in Alabama, we rarely ever found one available!



















What a difference in these "After" X-rays! I'm so bionic with my Stryker gender-specific knee! How cool am I?http://www.aboutstryker.com/knee/treatment/triathlon.php
The surgery was computer-assisted, so my leg is sooo much straighter that initially, I felt like I was walking on the outside edge of my right foot. Even the inside of my kneecap was "cleaned out" and replaced with a new, smooth part.
