Apologies, a little late in the follow up. I started this post with what is now a very embarrassing depressed state of mind. Quick trip to the present. Six months on, I have a new titanium knee, no longer in pain, knee no longer frozen, 8 degree bow leg now straight. Maybe 82 years old, but I certainly feel like a new man.The other reality I have faced is that as a consequence of giving up sport about 10 years ago my muscles were shrinking away. Following pre and post operation advice I do regular exercising every day. That in itself has made a tremendous difference to my sense of well-being.
Outcome is that there is no way i will close down my Hauptwerk setup and the pedal work, previously carried out in pain, is now part of my regular enjoyable exercise routine.
As background to this operation I was intrigued to discover that my surgery in Australia followed after my knee was modeled in the USA, the titanium replacement and a special one-off tool made in Belgium, and perhaps the best surgeon in Australia.
A happy ending for me.
Regards to all,
Keith
