Oh poor guy. Hope all goes well with his surgery. Please keep us posted. My DH just had triple bypass couple months ago but is bouncing right back. Just cant lift anything heavy for awhile.

Oh my, knee pain can be so very painful, here's hoping everything goes well and he has a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.....Annette

Several friends and family members have had this procedure with excellent results. Best of luck to your DH!

Patti

Tell him we all wish him good luck and a speedy recovery.

Kathy

Will keep you in my thoughts. I'm sure he's going to feel 150% better after the surgery.

I can't even count all the guys I know who've had that surgery. It's very common around here and I've seen nothing but success if the post-op instructions are followed. Lots of guys in their 40's, 50's and 60's and they are very active again after their surgeries.

Wishing your DH an easy surgery, no pain and quick recovery. With your nursing background you can make him follow those instructions! :-)

Caroline,
I'll say a special prayer for your DH. Surgery is never any fun, especially as we grow older, but from what other have said this surgery sounds like the answer to his problem. I'm scheduled to have endoscopic surgery on my wrist for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome next month. I'm told recovery time is much better with the "scopic" surgeries.

Your probably more worried about it than he is. :-)

Nan had this done on her left knee. The problem is my wife is stubborn and wouldn't sit still long enough for it to heal properly. She was exercising on it long before she should have been. She continues to do this despite the pain. She'll probably end up having a second surgery.
My advice to your DH is to take it easy and let it heal.

Caroline,

My DH also had this procedure done, and with great results.

I think this is really a remarkable type of surgery. Wishing your DH a complete and speedy recovery!

Been there, done that....no fun, I was skiing after the ice storm of 98--had no business being out there as it was really dangerous from all the ice falling off the trees...anyways the surgery was a snap, but getting my knee back to normal was another matter...lots of therapy....Best wished to a real speedy recovery on this.

(((Caroline))) May your DH's surgery be smooth and his recovery time swift. Do keep us posted.
