not sure what was different but I know you know what I mean when I say thats a painful break and a hella long recovery

may be my age (54) but they told me at the hospital that a plate and screws may shorten my recovery by a few weeks at best but that it wouldnt have any effect on whether or not the arthritis would kick in said that was a soft tissue issue...Im no doctor so I believed them, my ortho surgeon agreed btw and he is supposed to be the best in atlanta ( I was in OH at the time of the break)

course he is the one doing the knee replacement so it aint like he doesnt benefit....

in the end unless theres some magic cure for this arthritis that I dont know about ( I mean other than hydrocodone which works wonders but I only take it on the WORST days) usually one or two days a month

I drink on simply bad days and just deal with it the rest of em.

Im not lookin forward to it and part of me wants to get it over with and do it next week but i think doing it in the winter really is the best idea. I may sound whiney here but Im really not I have a charmed life and I enjoy every day of it pain or not.....so come nice weather I wanna be back on my bike and back scuba diving and offshore fishing asap and doing it now would screw up fall riding season which is my favorite.

I do wanna know what to expect in the way of recovery and all and more importantly if theres anything I need to know/do/consider prior to the surgery.

Thanks man glad you are faring well I know the pain and therapy you went through and wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.
