Well not actually kikin lol. But I'm trying to come back to the land of the living. It's been a week and 2 days since getting my shiny new knee cap It's been very hard very painful but hopefully it will all be worth it
The dr did have to work on my tendon due to RA. I have a much larger scar than I expected, it was very loose he had to tighten it up but he is hoping with me that this will help me. Im still jacked up on narcotics but I wanted to check In and say hi to all my friends! Blessings to you all.

Good to hear from you.
I'd imagine your going to have some pain before that new knee settles in.
I've heard success stories with the knees. Hoping your another.
Take good care & don't rush it.
Sammy
