xrays showed my hips and knees are wore out. Too many yrs kneeling in the dirt in an extreme occupation and extreme lifestyle. I have been telling them for 5-6 yrs something wasnt right but today the x-rays said it all. Surviving leukemia and diabetes 11.5 yrs now the body goes. The humid climate here with the cold really makes me stiff. I had super humidity in asia but it was HOT humidity. I felt good. Did manage to run with the boy and his dog a bit today,but thats a rarity. Time will tell.

People who run for fun have had too easy a life.
And they drop dead constantly.
Doesnt seem worth it to me.
Running destroys joints as well.
High-mileage folks aint in a hurry to go anywhere.

If you can still run it cant be that bad.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Going to have both Hips and both knees replaced at the same time ?

Just looked it up. It's about 6 to 8 weeks between hip and knee surgery.

Looks like maybe you have a young grandson (son's I presume)? If so, I hope they live close, so they can take their ol man next season! Teach what you know, and maybe you can get a bunch of free labor, and reap the same rewards (I always feel more reward when my young sons do something I can do)! It's the cycle of life really, just enjoy your time, and be patient! Best regards!

Prayers for you I have had 2 knees replace. Very little pain now. When it comes to the point that the pain keeps you from doing what you want 20 to 30 days a month have it done. mine were done 6 weeks apart. do the suggested therapy.

Ron thx,,I have never been sensitive to pain.......its just the mobility isnt there anymore. Cant kneel,knees wont bend etc...hips burn alot and knees click loudly everytime i get up. Trapping professionially in cold and hot,,did this to alot of guys I worked with. Drs. Cant believe I dont feel pain with this leukemia etc. 34 broken bones,5 surgeries to date and golden glover and streetfighter from the go,bucking broncs,motocross,mma,football,everything extreme guess I just tune it out.

day one tell the therapist you intend to do every rep of what they tell you to do so they need to stop you before you over do it but push hard then what ever the therapist tells you to do doo 100% every rep.

if you did all that crazy your lucky your knees are the only thing worn out
