Couldn’t afford a metal one? Bloody cheap skate!Had my knee replacement surgery on Wednesday. New heart valves 20 years ago, titanium pins in my foot, 5 stents into my heart valves over the years and now a plastic knee! I feel like the Bionic Man!
I think it's a mixture of plastic and titanium. I managed to count about 15 or 16 staples as well.Couldn’t afford a metal one? Bloody cheap skate!
Wishing you a speedy recovery HH.I'm still in hospital (Redditch). Don't think I'll be out until Mon. Leg is really swollen.

Have to admit, I was really not looking forward to it, especially when they said it would be done via an epidural. But I went down to theatre at 9.15, sat down on the table, "sharp scratch" was inserted then "swing your legs up...... quickly!"Wishing you a speedy recovery HH.
Got a hip replacement booked in in May... not looking forward to that. Might ask for a few tips on here....
Hope the City don't ruin your mood later!!

Had one done last August, the other in November. It’s all about the exercises afterwards, and being younger will help you.Wishing you a speedy recovery HH.

43... played a LOT of football over the years - spend most of my day on my feet due to nature of my job, averaging around 18k steps per day...Bloody hell shepardo, you’re a young man. What have you been doing to wear that out?
Just like me!Had one done last August, the other in November. It’s all about the exercises afterwards, and being younger will help you.
I met a woman who had hers done the same day as me, she was walking quite well with one stick after 2 weeks… (I took longer, but I am an old git)
Hmmmm.... Triggers Broom eh? I like it!Should change your username to triggers brooom mate!
In all seriousness, meant to be a bastard of an op so hope you're doing well and are on the way to recovery.
that is fucking knarlyUpdate... I'm actually getting around just using my walking stick. Hurts like a bitch and had a fall last night (but I think that might have been the effects of my mate, Jack Daniels!) Thing is, I still have horrible numbness on one side of my knee. Also, there are bruising marks on the sides of my knee. Question for the lads who have been through this.... is this all something you went through?View attachment 24306View attachment 24307 View attachment 24308
