    New Knee?

    Chuck Berge is going in for a Knee Replacement tomorrow (I am sure his knee will be N.O.S.)
    Chuck is one of the really good guys.
    Maybe a prayer and an e-mail to cheer him on.

    Good luck Chuck.

    Thanks for the info on Chuck. He is one of the best. Wonder if he'll be trying out for the roll of Fester if they ever remake Gunsmoke?

            glad we build a handicapped equipped house with the chair height toilets and full size walk in showers as they came in handy last year when mrs clem had a hip replaced and now my knee. it is a bitch to get old but better than the alternative of dieing young.

              A knee must be easier than a Wrist, I wasn't doing anything one week later and had 12 PT sessions !

              Good Luck Chuck !!!

                let's hope it's not a cheap Chinese repro.

                Chuck - the Dutch Chapter has its fingers crossed! Hope to see you back in Europe soon

                      Isn't modern medicne wonderful? We can get replacement ball joints and a card to get through the airport screening.

                      Best of luck Chuick.

                        I think if the two knees and the shoulder surgeries go well, he is going to have a facelift, tummy tuck, dental implants, nose job and hair transplant.

                        He'll still not be much to look at.

                            Had a knee replacement a year back and after therapy found out I was always hitting the hallway wall on the way to the bathroom. Found out later at 6 mph I was pulling to one side, my knee was out of alignment. My left loafer was worn down, most of the tread was gone on the outside edge. Make sure you ask for the knee with the adjusters. Its worth the extra cost.
