Gladiators 1,900 Posted January 14, 2018 Did you read my post? I've done hella ballistic sports since my first meniscus removal in 2001, no problems. What does the surgeon recommend, a cadaver replacement? That is 3-4 months of rehab which, I dunno, maybe is a freebie with your ACL rehab. Yes, I read your post. Was just replying with the advice from my surgeon. He thinks the meniscus can be saved via stitches. As for the ACL, he recommended doing the patellar tendon. Cadaver has a 90% success rate. Patellar is 95%. Success is open to interpretation. Recovery is the same regardless of whether he needs to do more with the meniscus when he gets in there.

My docs have always just chosen to remove meniscus tissue; if yours stitches, then I'd presume there is rehab for that. I have no experience with that though.

Sho Nuff 719 Posted January 14, 2018 The pellet things are interesting. Have heard mixed reviews on them. Have friends who swear by them...others swear by the big green egg. Ive been happy with a setup of a Weber gas grill and a Weber kettle (that be used to smoke things too...just requires a lot of attention). Have a store here Bargain Hunt...sort of place that gets stuff that didnt sell in clearance elsewhere. Wife already told me she bought me an electric smoker from there to add to the deck. Not sure what I think of that...but basically was 75% off retail. Damn thing has Bluetooth to monitor from my phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,165 Posted January 14, 2018 Jerry - What did your taekwando consist of? Was it training, participating in events, or both? Edited. I dont think you do taekwando anymore. All of the above. I earned my 3rd degree black belt in 2008, competed at state/national/world events, judged at same events. Broken feet, age, meniscus, and lack of flexibility have kept me out since about 2015, and you are right that I'm pretty much retired at this point. My best friends in the world are from taekwondo though. There is nothing like trying to beat the snot out of someone, yet stopping short of hitting them hard, then grabbing a beer and pizza after. I would put our style (ATA) up against any martial arts style in the world for kids though. If you are interested PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mookz 1,287 Posted January 14, 2018 BWI is 112 miles from Fishtown, but I get in late, so no meat. Any geeks from the area? TimmySmith is in the DC area I think. I should have stayed over Thursday, but knock on wood we'll complete this deal and I'll be going back. So no time to get a hotel room and work some crosswords? also- if i am in baltimore, i am looking for either crab cakes or blues Don't forget yer free arse-whoopin'.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted January 14, 2018 Met with the surgeon a week ago to go over options for my knee. Waiting for a call back to schedule it. Planning to have it done the week March Madness starts. Looking forward for the basketball, but not looking forward to recovery. I've had 3, including a major recon... It sucks, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
