Just to be clear I wasn't plugging for him. He is a Mercedes guy (sold me my first) and I'm sure he'd be willing to answer some questions.

Hmmmm, I just noted you are in colombus OH.

My daughter the pediatrician is there and has a good friend who I met with and discussed my hip replacement with. I believe he lives in the Upper ARlington area....any chance this is the same fellow?

My mother had both knees done in January. She followed the PT as long as I was there to force her to do so. Once I went back to Va she of course stopped. She is now worse off than before!
I just had to put her in a rehab facility so that they could force her to move. She hates exercise, weighs around 280 pounds and will not do what she is supposed to do. I told her this would happen, my sister in law who is a doctor told her and my wife who is an RN who worked on a rehab floor told her this would happen...

I told her she wasted the money, the time of the surgery, the nurse's time, the time the PT spent with her, etc. She wants to be better, but she wil lnot put in any effort.

As long as the PT regimen is followed you will be OK.

I met with this fellow yesterday to discuss my knee. He is going to do a Partial replacement Feb. 25th in Colombus.

I am pumped!

Pay extremely close attention to your PT tech. They know how best to have you back to 100% the quickest most positive way.

Far far too many avoid PT with the idea 'I can do it myself'. Very bad idea.
