Terry Beeson Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 Beeson Be sure and put an big red x on the correct knee. I have heard of horror stories. Dano, When I had the other one scoped about five years ago, that was standard practice to mark the one being cut on... The nurse asked me which one and I told her the left one, so she starts marking my RIGHT knee... I said "NO... NO... THIS one...." She said "I know..." and marked a big red "NO" on the right one followed by an X and "here" on the left one. I told her to be sure and mark a big red NO on...uh... the lower middle portion of my body to make sure they knew this was not a sex-change operation... russ, Good thing... I ain't changin' dates again...

MTM Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I wish you the best and it is best to hope to just be normal again. Again the best. Ron
Crippled Caddis Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Terry, Never be afraid to ask for references! Nor check with the state medical board for complaints against a surgeon. Remember, despite the aura (sp? ) of infallibility cultivated by the medical profession they are ultimately no different from an auto repair shop or heating/air conditioning service. They are in the service industry and any who object to being researched must be considered suspect. It's your knee! And I hope you're break dancing in the tailwaters in a few weeks---------errr, several hundred yards downstream.

Steve Smith Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Terry; you need to write some transcripts that your wife can post while you recoup so we all won't get TB withdrawal symptoms. Maybe the second verse to the Taneycomo Shuffle or the Taney squid??? It is also your responsibility to assign someone to keep Dano under control during your recovery [not me. I give Dan fly patterns and he just catches fish and tears them up every time]. Good luck with your surgery and please leave the nurses alone or mamma is gonna kick your butt. Then you'll need more than just a knee replaced. I wonder if anyone has ever had a butt replaced?? ___________________________ AKA Flysmith - Cassville MO
LostMyWife Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 We may need to have a collection so Terry can get a laptop and a wireless network so he can type from bed while he is taking drugs. Can you imagine what would come out of that guy under the influence of narcotic painkillers. Yes, I'm That Guy
Crippled Caddis Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Good! You mean he isn't?

gonefishin Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 HMMmmm. I was just wondering what effect the new metal parts might have on trout. They may be attracted to your new metal parts which would be an unfair advantage in fishing then again they might be repelled by them in which case would be ok cuz you ketch to derned many fish anyway. Either way it will be an interesting experiment. I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
