Thread: My season is about to end soon

    My doc told me yesterday, that, by the time I leave the hospital I'll be able to walk 600 yards, so I have a lot of optimism about my recovery.

    While I'm hoping I can start some bowling in June, I think July will be much more realistic unless the doc says otherwise.

    On a funny note, this will be the first time in over 30 years that I'll have to stay in a hospital for a couple of days. lol

    Just cause the doctor says March doesn't mean you have to. They always over exaggerate they need for these things to cover themselves. If he says it will be fine until May or June and something happens in March he looks bad. If you feel like you can finish winter league go ahead and do it and schedule the surgery later. You know what your capable of.

    I guess knee replacements aren't as bad as hips. My friend had his hip replaced a few years back, and wasn't doing any normal walking for a few weeks. He did come back to bowling the next season, but his game had to change a bit and he wasn't as good. Now he's back into the 190s-200s average

    I've had this knee scoped 7 times already and it has stopped me from going to sleep on many nights.

    I want to get this done an over with. The conservative approach for almost 2 years now has not been totally effective, and it's time to remedy the problem instead of covering it up.

    I had a total left hip replacement August 15 of 2016. I started bowling league the end of October 2016. I always heard that knee replacement recovery is longer then hip replacement. It turned out that way for me and I am glad. I have good range of motion and walk normally. When I first started bowling I would get sore during the three games but not too bad. Now I have no problem at all and my hip is six months old.

    Listen to the docs and do your rehab. Get that knee in shape and get out to that PBA50 league.

    No PBA 50 for me this year because there won't be anything regional after I've recovered.

    Maybe next year.

    Wow sorry to hear Jim. I fought back issues for a long time and did everything I could to avoid surgery. In the end, it got really bad really quick several years later and now have permanent nerve damage in my right foot.

    In the short term, yeah it sucks. But for the long term you (and your knee) will be happy you got it done now and didn't push it off any longer.

    Wish you a speedy recovery!

    Thanks Dave

    Back in 2012 I had the choice of either scoping or replacing the knee, and I went with the scoping hoping I could get 1-3 years out of it, but it didn't go more than 1 year and should have replaced it then.

    Now that I have insurance again (2015) I can't muck about. I'm tired of injections covering up the issue and now I want the curative.

    And I certainly appreciate the well wishes
