My fishing season/boat tinkering are over. Messed up knee. Slipped on slimy mossy ramp at Cowan Lake. Cant work, cant walk, in a brace til surgery. Have boats to fix and cant touch them. Hurry up and wait...…..(same knee had surgery in 2007 in Augusta Ga and doc then told me I would need a replacement in 5 years),,,guess I shouldn't be too disappointed.
I am officially broke d#&k and old....

Good luck!
Good grief Art, that also hurts. My wife had knee replacement last Tuesday, take those pain pills so you don't get behind on the pain. I had knee replacement a few years ago, main thing, do those exercises, so you won't get a stiff knee. A guy once told me "cheer up it could be worse" I cheered up and sure enough, it got worse.Hang in there Bud.
Prayers lifted for a good outcome Art...
Hope it all works out for you and listen to what they tell you....lol

Getting old sucks. It's starting to affect my tournament fishing second day I feel pretty run down. I also notice my worm is not as firm as it should be. 78 coming up in September.
Forgot to say, I hope you get better and soon, it's Summertime.
Doc says surgery friday morning/torn meniscus and major arthritic degeneration of knee...recommending total knee replacement over scope repair(temp)...old age does suck,,

Yes it does, and the joints seem to not hold up well. Good luck on Friday.
Art, My brother,an avid tennis player....ranked 3.5-4.0 had knee replacement surgery a few years ago. He was back to playing tennis in 6 months....albeit he wasn't as good as before, he worked his way back to where he was.....The key is rehab.....follow the dr's orders on rehab..... Good luck with it bud...
Dang bad news. To many of us getting hurt this season.
Could be from having to stay home and not enough moving around.
Hope you get better soon.
Art, I see you were posting earlier, did you have surgery today?
Yep,,,felt no pain afterwards until the meds wore off. Awful night,,the pain,,the pain,,PT starts tuesday. Fun times. Thanks for asking.

Good luck with the rehab. My dad had a new knee at age 83, did what he was supposed to do and ended up great. Do the PT!
Get more pills. Glad to see the operation was a success. Mend quickly bud.
