[Mark IV]

I had a partial right knee replacement November 12th 2008. I was back at work 4 days later. It went well and I have gone to rehab. I still have some pain that they tell me will go away. The strangest thing is that when they crack your knee open they cut the nerves that run from the inside of the leg and your knee will be numb for a year or so. I destroyed my inner knee digging with a shovel in hard clay (don't ask!) and I was in constant pain until the surgery. Mine was done as an outpatient and I was at the clinic at 6AM and loaded in the car to go home at 10:30 AM.
