Thanks Rafiki,,,,,,, this has been a pretty rough ride and the retirement part is the hardest pill to swallow. I'm still trying to grow 4 inches of my left femur back. The plan is to take the steel plat out of my shin,,,,do a reshape of the steel rod in my femur,,,,,and do a total knee replacement,,,,and add fresh material to the big bone graft above my knee to promote more growth. Soooo,,,,,,it looks like Jax is going to get to freak out again with all the equipment coming back in the house. Lol! He'll be running up to my wheelchair and Walker again and swatting them! Lol. I have a good outlook and hopefully I'll get the same relief you friend got. I'll get there!
