Hmmm... this looks fairly robotic doesn't it? I had an appointment today with Dr. ferro who is an Arthritis, Orthopaedic & Sports Specialist who is a total joint replacement specialist. His conclusion.... the Journey Knee is what I need. That really wasn't the news I was wanting to hear, I was hoping I would be a candidate for a partial but he says more than likely the Journey Knee will be the best choice for my knee . The good news was that I could return to work (depending on how I was doing) limited basis at 2-3 weeks and by 12 weeks you are pretty much recovered.
Check out his website: http://www.bonejointcenter.com
This doctor who does about 6-10 joint replacements a week and has been in on the development of joint replacement surgery. He is based out of Arroyo Grande and San Luis Obispo but comes to Bfld. once a week.

Kim,
I know this makes you anxious and I don't blame you. However, I am sure your quality of life will be so much better with the knee replacement. I will be praying for you. I am sure all is well in Washington.
Love ya,
Brother Bob
