But this knee literally feels like it needs some grease. It is just so tight. I do all the exercises and then some...have great PT sessions. I guess it will loosen up eventually. No doubt I could enter and exit a kayak with no problem at all.....getting it on and off the trailer is another story. I see doc on 19 March and as soon as my visit is over with him I am headed to HOOK 1 to check on new kayak...and probably the next day...or when weather is good head to Nickajack for some crappie. Thanks for asking.

The wife replacement will be 1 month this Thursday ... she is at 116 deg and about a 4 deg straight .. no aids needed (walker or Cane) but therapist suggest she uses the cane for another 2 or 3 weeks for balance ... don't want no falls ... home health has left ... downtown starts Friday ... <'TK>< [/QUOTE]

Glad to hear she is doing good tk. Those are great numbers for 4 weeks. Yeah that balance is a big deal...same with me. Was told the only way to hurt the knee at this stage is a car wreck or a fall.....so I will stay on the cane for a little longer. I will be at 6 weeks come Monday. I remember seeing jaycee and him telling me I would probably be able to fish our spot at Nickajack at the 6 week mark. I think he is right. The first few times I fish I will walk using a trekking pole. Life is good!

Regards
