This is the story: My daughter in law is a senior VP at a major physical therapy company in the Northeast, I asked her to find a Dr. for me. She comes back with this Dr. out of Rothman Inst. in Phila.
I go the the appointment, for him to look at my knees. Just in passing he asked me if I have had problems with my hip. I answer yes, so he asked me to straighen out my right leg, he manipulated my leg just a bit, and they needed to scrap me off the ceiling, so much pain. He tells me you need a new hip before the knees. I tell you all that to tell you this...... he does not believe in physical
therapy, for his patient's...... none what so ever. Thank you daughter in law. So how did my recovery go with the hip? At my post appointment, he told me if I was in a race to get better, I am two miles ahead of everyone else. No walker, used a cane for 10 days. My only concern was stairs, going down not up. Now I know my recovery with the knees with be way different, but time will be on my side. I have a very understanding nurse at home ( the wife ) so she will take care of me. And in the spring, or early summer maybe golf. Time will tell.
