Subject: [Gyros: 13076] YIPPIE!!! I rode


Hey Tony,

it was sure good seeing you and the staff at the store yesterday.  can you
believe that was the first time since the injury that i had the LOOK
out??!!!?  i ended up with 18 miles at a 15mph and i was soooo happy.
remember when this would have made me mad?   it was great feeling the burn
in the quads, tasting lung on the hills; it stirred up lots of memories of
the good ole days.  i miss riding and socializing with the group. 

  i did get the second opinion today and the doc said replacement.  he did
say that he would be willing to shoot me full of depo-medrol (cortisone),
every 2-3 months so that i can get as many miles out of the knee as possible
before any drastic steps are taken.   the replacement is about my only
option since i have had multiple scopes, extensive PT. lots of cortisone,
synvisc etc
. 
 when i asked him about getting too many shots of cortisone because of the
damage that it can do to the soft tissue, cartilage, bone, or whatever, he
said that since mine was already extensively damaged and sooner or later i
would be getting a replacement then no big deal.  if any one in the group is
medically savvy on this and would like to put in their two cents i would
like to hear it.

but anyway, if you happen to see me decked out in my gyros jersey, on the
look, going 12 mph. please don't laugh :)   take care and be safe.
Nancy
