All you 'kneed' to know...about my knee replacement surgery.

Welcome to my Knee Replacement Journey.

If your reading this, its for one of 3 reasons...

1) Your my friend and didn't get enough of my play by play on Facebook haha

2) Your about to have knee replacement surgery & looking for other's stories

or

3) You've had surgery..and still like to read about others.

Before you read further..I must warn you...I am picture happy and there will be a lot of pictures,
some of them a bit graphic. So if you are weak with these kind of things....
stop here...don't read on.

You HAVE  been warned! :D


Where did my knee problems start?
I've had problems with my knees for a good 20 years now.
They gradually got worse over time, until it came to a point
where it just needed to be completely replaced.
This is an x-ray before surgery. Notice the knobs sticking up (bone spurs)
and there is no gap between the bones on the inside of the leg. I was bone on bone.
