YUP, I finally got the new knee... 16 days post op and starting to feel better. You guys in So Cal better hit the beaches ASAP because once I'm back in the swing of it (no pun intended) your finds are gonna drop off pretty bad.... Just in time for the winter erosion.

Don't really need your new knee for our targets to drop off here. They been disappearing for awile already. Lol....let us know how the knee goes as you heal. I been getting PRP injections and they have worked out quite well.

My father had a knee replacement and his mobility is up to close to where it was before he ever injured his knee at all. My aunt had both knees replaced and it drastically improved her mobility as well. Gotta make sure to not overwork the PT though, but definitely don't skip out on it either. I have a great-aunt who refused to do any of the PT and was the worse off for it.

I think when my dad got his knee replacement years ago he shunned the physical therapy and ended up worse. Anytime I've had to do physical therapy I have been diligent in getting it done. That's the secret to a good recovery.

I'm 2.5 wks post op. I'm already walking ( with a limp), started the exercise bike, and flex is very good but extension (making the leg straight) is a bit behind. That was that way before surgery though from previous surgeries. I go back to work next monday for 1 month of light duty.. Hopefully I'll be recovered soon. Knee replacement isn't like any other repair. Other repairs you get to rest it for weeks then re-strengthen it. NOT with this. They literally want you walking the same or next day after surgery. Its a biatch. Wants to constantly stiffen up on you and if you don't do your PT your screwed once the scar tissue settles... The 1st week was an absolute night mare. I thought I made a seriously wrong decision. Week 2 started to come together, Today I'm in no "pain" per se but the swelling is persistent.
I went on a hunt about a week before surgery down at PB pier. 2 junker rings and a TC ring that looked gold. Had my heart going til I read it. Can't wait to get on the hunt,

That is similar to my dad's replacement. Was limping for a few weeks. But within 3 months he was fine. He is also morbidly obese and he is a tennis freak , playing 3x a week. They say each person/surgery is different for people. But he would recommend it for anyone who needs it. I think it's been 3 years now for him.

Glad to hear that your recovery is going well LT. As KOB mentioned, it's been pretty slow here while waiting for the first big erosion event after the summer deposits. Hurricane Hilary was a quick hitter and those few beaches that produced anything quickly (one tide cycle) sanded back in.

My dad also got a replacement a month ago, he is doing very good , so you are back in SD? I hit the honey hole beach a week agi and the rocks where all over the place , tides did not make hunting fun in there and the targets where no where to be found. Get strong and lets pillage and plunder.
