My season is about to end soon

Well, went to the Ortho yesterday about the left knee and it has to be replaced, and I figured that was the case for quite a while now.

But when I suggested it be done in May he said no, we need to do it in March. I knew the knee was bad but not this bad.

This puts the screws to the last month and change of the Winter leagues, and, more importantly, my PBA 50 debut in Reno.

While I'm certainly bummed out (to say the least), I'm also glad that I'm going to get this done and over with so I can be ready for the 2017-2018 season.

Thank you my friend

It's going to be a tough road for a couple of months, but I'm ready. The new knee is supposed to be good for 30 years, so I'll wear out before it does! lol

Hope for a quick recovery. I'm still fairly young at 29, but have battled knee issues since high school football. Started taking some fish oil and glucosamine sulphate to help, and it has. I suggest most people get on these if they battle inflammation (as most bowlers do). Seems to help quite a bit and I don't hurt near as bad

Being around professional sports (old job) and martial arts, I know of 4 people who had knee replacements for various reasons between the ages of 41 to 76. All have recovered rather quickly. After post surgery, they all walked the day after. Some left the hospital after a day or two.

Now that I am writing about this, one of the bowlers in leagues collapsed back in Oct. or Nov. because his knee gave out. He told us he held off total knee replacement for some reason I forgot. I think because of work. Last month he returned and is bowling lights out the last 3 weeks. He doesn't have that decent knee bend he once has, but he is sold at the line. No more limping around too.....

So, I know you will recover well and quick. You'll be ready for next season and I'll see you Xtra Frame!! lol speedy recovery

Good luck with the knee surgery, I have had several friends / relatives go through it and with remarkable success. There is only one buddy who had problems and it all stemmed back to the Dr telling him to take it easy and not begin therapy for six weeks, never figured out why they did it, but that delay set him back and made it a much harder recovery, on a good note even with that he has overcome that and is now doing well.
