Discussion: Total Knee Replacement

Recently, Softball4b, Mike Adair posted his progress after having a total knee replacement. I was amazed at his recovery, having had one myself about 3 and a half years ago that didn't go very well. Also, a number of other friends have also had the same surgery and done well.
I have to give Mike kudos for the work he did. We played together this weekend in the 60M division and Mike is already very strong-in under 5 months. He had several very key hits and was consistent. And he is running without pain!
For those of you that are hesitant to do it-IT BEATS THE PAIN BY A LARGE MARGIN. And they continue to get better and better with it.
Way to go, Mike!
Running may be stretching the truth, but the no pain part is correct.
I'm scheduled to get KR in a couple & wandering what positions you guys played before KR & after? I've always played outfield!
of weeks
ocden, I played mostly outfield in my career, but I can also play third. I played 8 of my 15 games in the outfield this week and the rest at third but was on base a whole lot, too. No problems whatsoever with the knee.
Hi Mark, Glad to hear that you're doing well. I'm back to playing the outfield as well and able to pinch run occasionally for our 70+ team. Have a great year and if you see Steve, give him my regards. Mel
Hey Mel, great to hear from you also. Glad to hear you are doing well. I will see Steve this week and say hi.
Thanks Mark, I'm a little jealous that you can play 15 games in a week. Our weather is still iffy. Mel
