Anybody here have a full knee replacement?

[Simplysmn]

Big that's why I stick to First gen Crewcab's I have more room that way Use to drive a 67 VW till a few yr's ago when I burnt it too the ground with me inside after that No More Little car's atleast Air Cooled .Wife has a TDI Jetta Wagen and I love that thing .Kinda Hard to get into but man is it fun to drive.

This is why I don't think that I will get a new truck, I like my CCLB 04.5 lots of room. The wife's Audi is to small for an extended trip, I can drive it but its not comfortable at all. My Toyota Taco isn't to bad with nobody behind me in the rear seat I picked up the drivers seat and drilled a few new holes in the seat mount, I can drive HER!! IH tractor with the enclosed cab heat or A/C but she can out run me and gets to it first, which leaves me the open to the weather Ford tractor or the Mules. I take the Mules most of the time, they need to earn their keep and not get fat over the winter. But she sure looks comfortable in the cab with the heater on.

Believe it or not the New truck's do have alot of room they ride n handle nice I sold my 11 3500 I had so that I could build my first gen crewcab plus the crewcab is Paid for .and on long trip's even the Jetta TDI has enough room to fit for a long run I have to get out every couple hour's because Of leg problem's but By that time Nature call's anyway so it's all good.

Im not as tall as you are but when asked, How tall are you? I tell them 4ft 30 they walk away with a bewildered look on their face.

I have fun with People .But what is Funny is you can have a Tall White guy and a Tall Black Guy and the White guy will get asked more how tall he is then the Other guy It's Funny we could be the same height but for some reason we stick out more . maybe that's a Good thing .

I have the ability to foresee the future because im tall, I have sat in a bar having a beer playing pool and seen some twerp come in and he's about 3ft nothing and looking to whip the biggest guy in the bar's *** , and before the end of the night and after the little man gets a few beers down, he locates the biggest guy in the bar> ME


And of course its the BIG GUYS FAULT!!!


Small man syndrome is the worst bar room illness that there is !!

 

[Simplysmn]

Amen little man Syndrome is what I call it .and Yes your Right the Big guy for some reason is Away's at Fault no matter who started it .Been there done that. and that is 1 reason I don't drink or go into Bar's .

 

[Grizzly]

At 5' 11" I don't have little man syndrome nor big man syndrome. No one has ever asked me if I played basketball in high school or college and no one ever tried to pick a fight with me in a bar, although I did manage to get into many fights in bars for other reasons, none of which I ever started.

Unfortunately I know it is!! I don't play for the dollars I use to because of the sore losers, Made enough in a night to buy a nice car for the wife. Vern's a pool hall on Firestone Blvd, Downey Ca was a big time money maker, when they closed the doors after hours and the money started to flow. Kind of an unsavory element to the clientele is what made me quit, and the fact that Penny told me to

Took the wife and several of her Family out to dinner and a movie last evening.

Ran into the Department Head of Orthopedics she is also a friend, we had dinner with her and we got to talking about this post. She informed me that if I were to have my knee put in NOW !! That if I had surgery in the AM, I would only stay OVERNIGHT and then be discharged barring any MAJOR complications and if I met 3 things that I cant remember what they were but she said that if I couldn't pass those 3 things that I wouldn't have had the surgery in the first palace.

In 2016 she said that the Obama Care Plan is, If I had surgery in the AM I would go home That!! evening Ya!! Glad mine are done.

I don't know about the rest of you that have had TKR but I really didn't want to stay around a germ bed hospital anyway!! but they made me stay 3 days, was the least amount of time spent after any of my surgeries.

I cant believe that they are going to make TKR an Out patient surgery. Sorry but this is not like a tooth being extracted, when somebody dies because of this stupid Obama Care the SWHTF
