Finally got the before-and-after X-rays from my total knee replacement surgery a couple of months ago. Done at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, I can recommend my surgeon if you're interested.

It was taken from the window of our 7th floor hotel room at the Holliday Inn (Room 711) at Potts Point on Wednesday 16th June 2021, the evening before my long awaited but so far successful Total Knee Replacement surgery at St Lukes Private Hospital.
Due to an outbreak of 9 cases of the Covid 19 Delta Variant (B.1.617.2 strain) at nearby Bondi Junction during the time of our visit we didn't hang around in Sydney more than a few days after the operation, being back home by the evening of Saturday 19th June.
The Berejiklian Government made the political decision not to lock down the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and within a week Covid had spread out of Bondi Junction to Liverpool (where they did lock down) and not long after it found its way into vulnerable aboriginal communities in western NSW.

We'd booked in at the Holiday Inn overnight after my having been discharged on Friday morning from St Lukes Private Hospital where I had successfully undergone Total Knee Replacement surgery the previous day, Thursday 17th June.
With a number of Delta Variant Covid 19 cases being reported in nearby Bondi Junction and my recovery going well we decided to drive home on the Saturday 19th June to avoid any potential Sydney wide lockdown which eventually came on the late afternoon of 20th June. The lockdown imposition was IMHO 5 days later than it should have been, but from my point of view it did allow me to have my knee surgery and get out of Sydney before being locked down.
Meanwhile, what was just a few cases in the Eastern Suburbs of the more virulent Delta Covid variant pre 17th June 2021 has now blown out to be hundreds of cases and many cases with many being exported to other states.

To the tune of CSNY's "Teach Your Children Well" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQOaUnSmJr8
DOB: 12/21/1922
Died: 01/04/1999
He was 77 years old.
My Dad's Favorite Quotes:
"You know, Suzie (he called me Suzie) you can be replaced". - (He was right. Unfortunately, you couldn't be, Dad.)
"If you had half a brain you'd be dangerous." (Up for debate)
"Do the right thing" - Huh.
"Do as I say, not as I do".
"How do ya like them apples?"
"I just want you to live an honest life". (Refer to "Do as I say, not as I do".
"You're no prize"
"Eat your heart out"
"You're an accident waiting to happen"
"You don't know when to quit, do you?"
"They broke the mold when they made you". Which mold?
"I forgot more than you know"
"you have a one-track mind" - It's "inherited" (wink-wink)
"Do you know what time it is?" (No - I confuse right and left. It only took 60 years to figure that one out)
"Get your ass in gear"
"Motor Mouth" - His polite way of saying shut-up. He never said shut-up. He always said this with a smile.
"Shit for brains" His name for my brothers.
"Go run around the block" (We did - many times I did not go home).
"Asshole buddies" - (When one of his buddies went somewhere with one of his other buddies other than him.)
"He talks like he's got a paper asshole".
"Don't dish it out if you can't take it" - See "Do as I say, not as I do".

"Watch the tips goddammit!" - (Bringing the fishing poles in from the boat).
"You smell like burnt toast".
"I don't trust him/her as far as I can throw him/her". I was a child, remember? Maybe throwing your beer cans, cigarettes, cigars and bottles in the garbage would've been a good start rather than throwing around your kids.
"You know, sometimes I think about suicide." (He said this to me on Christmas Day - 10 days prior to placing a high-powered rifle in his mouth while sitting on the toilet and blew his brains out. With the cooperation of many officials in NJ who scoured their records I was finally able to obtain the police reports and autopsy details in May 2022 after requesting them as I never really believed it was a suicide.
Mom said he'd always stated he was going to commit suicide when he was ready, although I was not aware or told of that one while he was alive. IOW, he always had a plan. "He did it his way" - on his mother-in-law's birthday. He probably didn't even know it was.
He suicided 20 years ago (or so) today - January 4, 1999. Nobody knew my phone number to let me know - my Son was finally able to reach me. Somehow I lost a year at that point. I only know *somebody* put that bullet hole in the bathroom ceiling and his neighbor cleaned up the bathroom. That neighbor developed early dementia as many people do after witnessing such a horrific sight they do not recover from without counseling or talking about it and coming to terms with it. Family trauma and abuse is much the same. That is how people are then labeled with psychiatric terms, unfortunately they were not in fact the "crazy" ones. The true "crazy" ones stay under the radar and appear fully functioning. IOW, "they have jobs" according to today's society. I'd been told my Dad was a "functioning alcoholic".
He tried quitting smoking many times. Once he tried replacing cigarettes with Regal Crown sour cherry & sour lemon drops. No sugar-free options back then. That's when he lost his teeth. After he quit he gained tons of weight.
He sat at the dinner table waving his fork up and down frequently....fair warning to get ready to duck. The five of us always had dinner together every night - that's good for the family structure, it's said. A few times he turned the dinner table over or threw dishes at one of us. I only know he generally missed. I would occasionally lock myself in the bathroom to get away from the violence. He generally knew how to unlock those doors. I ran away from home frequently. I accidentally drove his red Chevy pickup truck into a pond. Someone helped me get it back up on land. I also accidentally set his red Chevy pickup on fire but he wasn't mad. He just laughed. He was a good sport like that. Brother Bob finally totaled it after being broadsided by a UPS truck (malfunctioning traffic light) on the way home from a Grateful Dead concert in Philadelphia. It really was a pretty truck - fire engine red with hand painted gold leaf lettering. It had ladder racks which I'd used as a jungle gym. He mostly put up tin, slate and shingle roofs. The most fun was taking the old shingles, slate and tin he ripped off the old roofs to the landfill in his dump truck which he parked around the corner on Hudson St not far from Gliba's bar (Chambersburg, NJ), dumping it off a cliff along the embankments of the Delaware River - he would back up to the edge as close as he could and hit the gas to attempt to scare us. He didn't. This was also near the huge penicillin and pharmaceutical dump by the Trenton Marine Terminal off Rt. 29 towards White City Lake..
US Navy Veteran. He had one older brother and one older sister. They (Mom & Dad) had three boys (one died - the second one - Russell - his stomach never closed so his guts were exposed and baby Russell only lived a short time, I'm told . I do not know if or where baby Russell was buried) but Mom said he always wanted a girl, anyway. Often I wonder if baby Russell lived and was given up for adoption. I check with 23 and me occasionally to see if any new family surfaced. He told the same stories year after year for over 40 years, yet never spoke about his time in the Navy (the *brotherhood*, code of silence, whatever). He was the baby of his family. He had brown eyes. He said people had brown eyes because they were full of shit up to their forehead. His Mom died when he was 12. He had a severe hearing deficit that was never addressed, as many Veterans do. He was diabetic although it was never addressed. He had metabolic syndrome although it was never addressed. He always kept, cleaned and took great care of his German Ruger which was kept in the headboard of their bed. We learned at an early age where it was and to "respect" it.
He either fished or stayed in his bedroom watching old war movies in his later years and went to flea markets occasionally. His back also started giving out. He refused to go to a doctor. I do not recall that he ever did until his 70's when he developed skin cancer (fisherman's arms). Then he wore a hat like Lawrence of Arabia. They took real good care of him at whichever doctor / hospital he'd gone to. Someone trashed all of his records upon his death as I found only a few after Mom passed away - a statement from CMS Medicare - a summary of claims processed dated 6/13/2003 from a Dr. John W. Petrozzi in Barnegat - $70 for an office visit dated 4/25/03. It was denied. Reason? "a. Our records show that the date of death was before the date of service. b. You do not have to pay this amount., c. The name or Medicare number was incorrect or missing. Ask your provider to use the name or number shown on this notice for future claims." My oldest brother wanted his "Red Dawn" book back. We never found it in the house but we combed through everything looking for it.
He would go meet his buddies for breakfast at a local diner. He was always mad at one of them at any given time. He had a loud, infectious laugh and a loud boisterous voice. He was also a tinsmith and spent a good portion of his Winters melting lead in the basement to make fishing sinkers. He had freezers full of bait (and hundred dollar bills wrapped in tin-foil). He was a phenomenal cook - he loved the typical German/ Polish/ Hungarian meat & potatoes diet. He adored his fatty meats (bacon, pork, Szalolonna, etc....). He never ate anything sugary except for tons of fresh fruit nightly. He only ate Wonder Bread (white) and tons of processed lunch meats (favorite was Lebanon Bologna). He came home for lunch daily for his bread and tomato sandwich w. fresh radishes on the side w. salt, He did like his Navy Bean Soup with ham. He also spent his afternoons at the American Legion drinking beer. The only "ritual" I remember aside from cleaning his gun weekly and going to Church with us once a year (Christmas) was breaking out the Limburger cheese every Sunday. That was the day we would all hold our noses and run out of the house screaming.
He would go fishing twice a week - a 1 1/2 hr. drive from Trenton & Lawrenceville, NJ to Waretown, NJ, where he docked his boat. There was a sharp turn around Cranberry Lake where he would drive 100MPH to try to scare us. It didn't. While smoking his cigars (that was not fun). I did, however, have many, many night terrors most of my younger life about being trapped in a car underwater, among others. Until I learned how to escape one if it indeed happened. My friends all received a glass-break tool for the holidays one year. www.thebugoutbagguide.com/best-car-escape-tool/
He taught me how to shoot guns, ride horses, sail and swim (by throwing me in deep waters without any life vest while he laughed),. I am not sure why so many fathers do this to their daughters....one would think they'd teach them how to swim, first. He taught me how to handle a boat, to navigate through channels, sandbars and the Barnegat Inlet. He taught me how to surf. He taught me to water ski (without knowing how to swim). He taught me to snow ski. He taught me how to drive (while using a quick backhand across the face if I made my turns too wide). He taught me how to shoot bow and arrow. He taught me how to shuffle, deal and play cards. He taught me how to detail a truck. He left me a $2,000 John Hancock Life Insurance policy which allowed me to purchase a Windows Millenium Edition Dell Dimension computer - my first Windows computer which enabled me to go back to school after my aneurysm. He taught me how to "be kind to animals" (after he beat them till they would no longer move) - I skip that part (hurting them). He & Mom hunted wild game (rabbits, pheasants and deer)) with 2 beagles (Tiny and Nellie who was later replaced by Rosie) which were kept outside year long. He had another dog before them - Speck. And another beagle, Queenie. He didn't mind me bringing home as many animals (and amphibians) as I was able. Except for snakes. Mom had a snake phobia and even the tiniest garter snake upset her, so I learned not to bring home snakes after the first one.
He frequently had his drinking buddies at the house till late at night. Mom always loved Frank Sinatra, hence he did his best to emulate him in every way he could. He built a beautiful bar in the basement - I was the family bartender. He got a player piano which was quite fun. He set us up with pinball machines, pool table, juke boxes, bowling machines, arcades, etc....which he'd gotten from his friend, Whitey Bralynski from Browns Novelty, who supplied the arcade, pinball machines & shooting games.to local diners, bowling alleys, etc. - an all cash business.
He & Mom hunted deer with bow and arrow together, also. They beat the shit out of us, whipped my brothers and I frequently (I was the only one to hit back). One of the more favorite methods of "teaching" was total isolation for a day or night or more (locked in a completely dark cellar way). He was not the major disciplinarian (at least not for me). We won't go there. He taught me how to not give a fuck about life although it was against my grain. The medical profession convinced him knee implants (which his body rejected) and various other surgeries would improve his quality of life - while in his 70's. They, as well as Medicare or the V.A. (not sure which), squeezed the last bit of benefits out of him prior to his death. He began getting major headaches. He took shark cartilage which his buddies told him would help with pain. He died a few months after these surgeries after he insisted he did not want a nurse visiting his house to change the packings after they removed a good portion of his colon. Unless of course, his insurance would not cover it. Mom was unable to pack his wounds. His neighbor Bobby LeFebvre would go over and do this. Dad never exercised although climbing up and down a ladder in his younger years qualified for a while. Other than passive sports (bowling) while younger. he did practice his boxing skills on the family although that extended out to cage fighting, MMA and simply total loss of control of his anger (on 3 little kids). Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia attempted to convince him he needed to have an eye surgery - he left there in the middle of the night - Mom and her neighbor, Judy, drove to go get him at 2AM. I had just returned to work after the aneurysm and could not leave my job II was partially blind and was taking the bus) so I was on the phone with Mom throughout the night. The hospital also attempted to convince him he'd had a brain aneurysm (he did not). He did have a small stroke one Thanksgiving Day and refused treatment at that time. But one day a week or two later he walked into a wall, fell, knocked himself out splitting his head open (and one eye went crooked) which concerned them, hence a visit to the hospital. We all do love the holidays, after all. Wills Eye Hospital removed one of my Mother's eyes - she was in her 70's also. They like to take eyes when they can - someone can always use them. He was a Democratic Committeeman in Lawrenceville, NJ, USA. He was also a boxer on his ship, a ship's cook, a roofing contractor, a great singer and comedian, and made friends wherever he went. He could be a very sharp dresser. He was also a die hard fisherman, a Charter Boat captain, and skilled builder, card player, gardener and carpenter. He was also an asshole, bigot and a stubborn fuck all his life. To the best of my knowledge, in spite of his earlier years as a boxer, he was never evaluated for TBI, trauma, hearing loss or any other neurological impairment or injury.
His favorite song was Frank Sinatra's "My Way". He loved to watch Dean Martin, All In The Family and Three's Company. He liked Chrissy. He never liked any of my friends and called all of my girlfriends (since elementary school) whores. He left instructions for Mom on how much to sell his boat, cars and trucks for and what to do with all his fishing stuff (an entire garage full) - that was very considerate, I thought. Once he & Mom were going to get a divorce - Dad said we had to choose who we wanted to live with. Ironically, I chose Dad. Brother Bob (the middle child) went hysterical and could not choose. So they reconciled after counseling with our Church pastor, we became The Brady Bunch and moved to the illustrious suburbs. Both he & Mom had themselves cremated and dumped in the Barnegat Inlet. We took Mom out on a neighbor's boat (Al Casamente, one of his fishing buddies who later was hitting on Mom, she said) - not sure who took Dad - perhaps it was one of his fishing buddies Jimmy McCarty. When their cat, Max died here in Kentucky his ashes were shipped to NJ and his neighbor Bobby again took care of it, so Max should be out there living with the fishes as well. I do not even remember which war Dad was in. - with everyone in our families on both sides generations back in wars, it became impossible to remember whose was whose, mostly because when I'd asked there were many different answers their paperwork disappeared. There was no obituary. No memorial service.
I was told two versions of how his Mom died. One was she was at the "beauty parlor" and died from what was called "beauty parlor stroke syndrome". The other story was she was getting her hair done and there was a mob bombing in which she was killed.
While Mom was sorting out his belongings after he allegedly committed suicide, she said she found a black bra in his closet. This would most likely account for why all of his belongings were disposed of.
RIP, Dad. Thank you for preparing me to deal with senior citizens. I hope I haven't created too much havoc as your Daughter (if I really was).
With Love,
Dysfunctional Veteran's Daughter
Moral of Story: Drinking, drugs, babysitters & kids don't mix. Think about it.
Last week I had total knee replacemenmt surgery. Right before the operation a nurse came in and shaved my left leg. So now I look a bit like half a swimmer. :-) Anyway, this shot just reminded me of my one hairy leg.

We have the technology. My spouse's new knee. In Canada, like every western country (except the USA), we have socialized medicine. Total cost... $0.00. Shot from monitor.
Total Knee Replacement ... I had the titanium implant surgery on 02 March 2016 and the X-rays were made on 04 March 2016 the day before my discharge from hospital. Twenty three metal clips were used to suture the wound and they show up here as the prominent curved line in the lateral view.
The picture is a montage made from two iPhone snaps of the X-ray images there were displayed on a NHS computer screen. I snapped them on 15 April 2016 when I attended a review six weeks after the surgery.
12 weeks ago today I had a complete replacement of my right knee. I finally got around to requesting copies of the before and after X-Ray images. There were a couple of sets but this view shows the differences the best. My surgeon remarked afterward that once he got into the knee (before the replacement) that "it looked like the inside of a teenager's bedroom". Among other things, you can see on the left how "out of alignment" the knee was.
Panned in the Corte Madera, CA Marsh. You can get an idea of how fast the stilts were moving when 1/250 sec still resulted in quite a lot of blur on the water and the gadwall
A number of you have been asking about my wife Sammy after her knee replacement surgery, and I'm happy to say she's doing great. She still hurts, naturally, but she's home, walking around the house with a walker and well on her way to full recovery. She has to be ~~ one of our sons is getting married in April, and we will definitely be dancing at their wedding.

DA NANG, Vietnam (Aug. 21, 2015) An orthopedic surgery team finishes a right knee replacement procedure aboard hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) by placing sutures on the knee as part of Pacific Partnership 2015. The medical team included Navy surgeons, anesthesiologists and corpsman as wells as an orthopedic surgeon with the non-governmental organization Project Hope. Mercy is at its fourth mission port for PP15. Pacific Partnership is in its 10th iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, the mission has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through more than 180 engineering projects. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Valerie Eppler/RELEASED)
Sixteen days ago I received a new left knee - a great present. This image shows the before (on the right) and after X-Rays of the knee. Not sure why the X-Ray dept reversed the before image, but you get the picture - you can see how much the knee was "out of alignment" before the surgery. Rehab is going very well - I was able to walk a (slow) 2.5 mile local trail yesterday.

My knee has been cut off, a titanium hinge has been installed, and I'm slowly healing after my knee replacement. Bored, too sore to do much else other than swell up when I stand and move about, or even sit in a chair.
after much discussion, the doctors and i have opted for a different path of repair, surgery, healing and pain management. i'm not thrilled with the timeline, but all indicators point toward this being a better plan in the long run.
the bad: the final surgery is postponed again, until at least late november, and i have to take more drugs (one of which is purely experimental, so i may mutate again).
the good: i may stave off the full knee replacement for much longer and be free of pain and be able to return to using my knee somewhat normally in the interim. also, when the knee replacement goes in, i am increasing the chances that the surgery will go smoothly, the knee will work better, and my recovery time will be considerably shorter. the docs also get to write me up as a test case so i'll be 'patient x' in some medical journal this time next year. whee.

More than 18 months after we were first introduced, Neal my knee replacement and I finally met face to face :-)
You can’t run, walk or even move your knee the way you used to. Daily chores have become nothing less than a burden and the very thought of moving your leg to get out of the bed the most difficult choice. You have tried medication, injections, and even physical therapy. But nothing seems to work. Under such circumstances, total knee replacement is not only the best option available but the only way to reclaim your life.

FIRST: This is not a typical scar! This is a family trait- we scar ugly. It is NOT a keloid/Hypertrophic scar. My surgeon said so himself. It isn't anything other than ugly- there is no discomfort and causes no problems.
I'm a few days late with this as an "update" photo. I had my knee replaced on March 18, 2009. It has been a gloriously ridiculous six years. Sometimes I feel like I've done nothing at all with it, then I realize all that I have done.
And this ALMOST fits with the doctor theme for We're Here!. I mean, I GOT this from a doctor. I almost called it a "gift", except that in reality, this scar and the metal joint inside actually cost about a thousand dollars more than our house did. (that's right, my replaced knee cost approximately $50,000 and our house, purchased in 1996, was $49,000).
Anyway, this is Fronkensteen and I love him. I actually forgot to update him altogether this year, but that's the point to having a joint replaced- you get to move on with your life (if you're lucky). While I'll never be perfectly 100%, I'm as close as possible- which is a helluvalot better than I was six years ago.
Having my knee replaced gave me the renaissance faire, because without the replacement, I never would have been able to go to Bristol.
