knee reconstruction-for Bill

[Guest guest]

Hello Bill,

I am glad that I had decided to have both my knees done and it

has made a big difference in my life. I have always had a

terrible gait and I am at the point to really needing AFOs. I

have never worn them for more than 10 minutes. They never fit

right I even had molds of my legs taken which didn't help and

I am thinking of ankle stablization.

But oh what a long time to be laid up. I went batty with my

knees! But at least I can stand without my knees popping out of

joint which was very painfull they were so bad. I would roll

over in bed and they would come out of joint!

I really wish I could tell you that it helped with balance but

unfortunatly it didn't. At this point I'm thinking the ankle

stablization might be the closest thing in helping that! I have

the worst balance I need to hang on to something when standing

or I bob all over I look like 1 of those bobble head dolls!

I'll tell ya I get looks from poeple who must think I'm on drugs

or that I am drunk maybe they look at me that way because I'm

young or I just look funny...who cares! Hope this helps!
