Olham 164 Posted February 2, 2011 My mom got a new artificial knee, but will have to wait 14 days for a place in the reha clinic. So I'll assist her, and have an eye on her. This wasn't planned, but is necessary. I'll miss OFF and you all sorely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted February 2, 2011 Good you can take care of her, make sure she uses her crutches at all times until she can get to proper rehab. I know a lot of people who have had the surgery and they have all had very good results. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaghorn 10 Posted February 2, 2011 take care and look after her. ladies in higher ages are often too proud to quit doing homestuff for a while, so make her take it easy. btw. i could also use new knees. are those bionic? if so, please tell me where to get them.

almccoyjr 7 Posted February 3, 2011 GOD Speed to your mom. I had a hip replacement a couple of years ago so I can empathize with her. Being away from OFF does have an upside. You won't be using up any 7.62x57 ammo "trying" to hit someone. My best to you both. plug_nickel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratatat 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Best wishes to you and your mom, Olham. I will double my efforts shooting down the foe until you can return to duty! All the best, Ratatat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted February 3, 2011 Good luck to your Mom, Ohlam. BTW, I figure I'm going to need new knees in a few years. I was thinking of having the old ones mounted for hanging over my fireplace, or perhaps making a key fob out of a worn-out patella. Be kind to your knees, folks. You'll miss them when they're gone..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah the doctor said already, sooner or later, you'll have problems with your knees. It was sooner but for now I don't need any surgery. Whenm will you buy a notebook, Olham? Best wishes to your mom Olham, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasse Wind 46 Posted February 3, 2011 Joint problems are VERY common. If they weren't so common, I'd have much less work to do at the hospital. I expect my own right knee will have to be fixed in the future, as it suffers from an old injury and is not getting any better with age. Climbing down from the trees and starting to walk on two legs was a bad idea for the human species (it also makes hernias much more common than on other animals). Best wishes to your mother, Olham. We all know you'll take good care of her. And like Von Paulus said, you really need to buy a decent laptop. I have one that can be used to fly OFF, and it's not even particulary powerful or expensive. If you had one, you didn't have to stop your flying when you go away from home. It's a long war and we'll be here when you come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted February 3, 2011 Creaghorn, they decided to use the knee of a donkey; seemed to fit most perfectly. A couple of weeks??? I will be on leave for 13 days, TaillyHo. Not a day more! (There are duties waiting!) almccoyjr, I never "try to hit someone" - I shoot them down! Mmuahahahahahaaaa!!!! Ratatat, hold the lines, till I'm back! A good way to remind yourself, that we are mortals, Bullethead. A notebook, von Paulus?? Why should I... Aaaahhh, for OFF! Well, there wouldn't be time for flying. She has to move short after leaving the Reha clinic, to a smaller flat. So I'll have to sort out lots of things. A nasty task. "This is still like new, we can't throw it away!" "That was from my mother - I must keep that!" etc. Nice try, Morris! Thank you all - and the forum going, boys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
