    Gipper, if we can get together for golf in the next 30 days I promise I will NOT ask for strokes.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the offer George. The hard part is finding a course where you can take your walker on the green. :)

    Good luck , Mike. You'll love the new knee and how you feel with it. I haven't had it done, but I know several guys around our age who have, and I haven't heard one complaint. They all say they wish they hadn't waited so long.

    Best wishes, Mike. Like Sid, everyone that I know who has undergone the procedure remark about how nice it is to no longer have to deal with chronic pain.

    Getting a joint replaced, you know they are going to be legal in Washington and Colorado soon and you won't have to hold on to them so long. Oh wait body joint? Good Luck!!

    ps.. you might want one of those Washington Joints, but I don't think they sell them yet at the Butt Hutt! :)

    Well the easy part is over. Nerve block should be wearing off in a few hours. Then the fun begins.
