I am back.

Post by armydriver »

Some may have noticed, but I have not posted lately. On June 25 I went into the hosppital to have my left knee joint replaced and during surgery I flatelined twice. I did not a new knee but I got a new pacemaker.
Anyway I am learning how to walk again on my old worn out knee but with normal blood pressure. :D

Good to have you back but sorry about the circumstances. No surgery is routine. I know of two deaths related to joint replacement, one being my dad. Take it easy and hope things work out for you!
