Everybody heals differently. Took me 8 weeks with a pulminary embolism in the middle.

Wow...thats crazy...glad you're okay.
Agreed...everyone heals differently but I CANNOT be out for more than 7 weeks max. If there's a chance I'll have to be out longer...I'll put off the surgery till January or February.

You should be up and walking the day of your surgery and back to work in a month. I had my knee scoped out over twenty years ago and was back to work in four weeks after surgery.

Oh Yeah
Yeah surgeons are always busy especially orthopedic ones. Usually like you said if their super busy they have to schedule it out a few months. We have a top notch hip doctor and hes booked up for like a year. Crazy I know.

Even when I started driving, it took me two years to really become a "driver".
Whats your excuse now?

Thanks Joe, I was getting a little worried that I maybe picked the wrong month to get my knee fixed.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
We had a driver out almost 6 months. 4 because of knee pain. 2+ more after a scope. He's a pusillanimous.
Some people do not heal well!
Others just,milk the system.

Oh Yeah
I felt good 8 weeks after my surgery but not good enough to feel like going back to work. I knew my body and knew how it should feel. I pushed it a little hard toward the 8 weeks to basically do a trial n error test with it just to make sure it was 100 percent, needless to say I wasn't. Just because that person may be a loader doesn't mean their not working their balls off in a very similar fashion and motion as a driver. That's why its smart to take the maximum amount of time off for it to heal correctly an get the full strength and mobility back in it. When I had mine done the back part of my kneecap had a crack in it also so they had to shave that down a lil bit. That could explain the 12 weeks also. If it were me id wait til after peak to get it done so you don't have to rush back to work or really hurt yourself by coming back to soon. Better to go into a gunfight with a gun than without one feel me lol.
Slacker!
LMFAO

Moderation is the key homeboy when you get older, don't get nowhere playing macho man on this job making stupid decisions without doing the complete 100 percent homework. Everything you do in life you should have a plan or strategy, I don't care if your taking a dump or making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you have some type of plan as to how your going to do it. Call it over analyzing or what you want, I call it preparing like a sumbitch for every scenario that could play out good or bad. You have to take that approach as you get older, I don't wanna be old as dirt stuck behind the 8 ball because I made stupid decisions when I was younger because I was too lazy to take the extra time or make the extra effort to do make sure I was evaluating all my options and make the right decision, THATZ WHAT IT IS G MAN lol.
