Hal,
As I said, my guy is considered one of the local rock stars. He does 6-8 a
week (nice income from that, I'm guessing), and at the seminar I watched of him on youtube he stressed over and over the importance of the doctor.
This week I have pre-op visit where I expect I'll get my exercise assignments. I'm gonna do them like a madman. The operation is in mid-December. New knee for XMAS!
Hooray!
