Hi, gang ... I have returned to the land of the living ...got released from the re-hab center yesterday ...
Steve - thnx for updating the S-Z on my progress ...
Seems like the surgery went real well ... The physical therapists were impressed with the degree of flex I've already gotten back in the knee ... One PT, watching me walk after 2 days of therapy said "That's one of Dr. Buonnano's knees isn't it? You can always tell" ... so I guess I had the right guy for the job (actually, I KNEW I did, he did my left one 3 years ago) ... Of course, I am also a very dedicated rehab patient ... no sense going through this pain and doing the job half-way ...
The biggest problem thus far is finding a comfortable position to sleep in ... For the life of me, I can't figure out how ANYONE would get both knees done at the same time ... but, some do ....
So now I've got 6 - 8 weeks of solid rehab work and I should be walking the golf course in April ...
Now to catch up with S-Z ...
Thanks for all your well wishes ...
It's GREAT to be back !!! ...

Tony:

Welcome back glad to hear from you. Well, I had good intentions of stopping by Cedar Crest, since I live about 2 miles from there. I Gotta confess I had to drive by there a couple of times and thought at some point I'd get in to see you. Never did make it, but I did call on Sunday, they said you had no phone and the lady that answered said she come down the hall and force you to walk back to the phone. I told her she'd just better let you rest! As I say glad your back. And Dr.B is the best 12 years and 3 marathons ago he performed some minor surgery on my knee and never had a problem with it since. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lookin' good mon! I'll try to give you a call in the morning just to pick on your old, bony butt! I'm sure Lydia is providing all the TLC you need for now, and I sincerely hope you can visit the sunny south and so I can take you both sailing on Chesapeake Bay this summer.

Cheers,

Thanks again, gang ... all the comments are much appreciated ...

Dreamer ... great to hear from you ...

Steve ... the biggest problem I have with CedarCrest is that they don't have their act together ... I had a phone from day 1 !!! ... also, a friend called them on Thursday and they told him I was still there ... so he came to visit ... I had been released the day before ...

Gary ... careful what you ask for ... I had already told Lydia that I would like to make a trip to Balt to see the Inner Harbor, catch a ballgame (hopefully the Yankees) at Camden Yard ... Sooo that could be tied in to a visit ...

I LOVE this place ...

I think you're right, Tony...Steve gave me several numbers and I could get no answer. Must have called 20 times.

Thankfully, looks like their care was on a better level.
