A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Hey boys… I’m in for an emergency surgery tonight to clear an infection in my arthritic right knee, so I may be dark for a bit. I’m in pre-op right now.

Hope all goes well. Heal up soon.

Not a single one of the nurses would carry my amp in. Pfffffft! Canada.

Good luck with the surgery! I get my knee scoped next month. And in true Canadian fashion, it doesn't work right because of hockey, eh. Hopefully they can clean it up good so I can hit the ice again soon...

Glad to see you can have a sense of humor about the ordeal. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery and return to the forum.

Best wishes!

Hope it went well, heal up fast!!

Get well soon.

Best of luck and get well soon!

Mojo sent & get well soon . take your air guitar.

Hope it went well Milkman.

Barrhaven mojo sent. Hope all turns out well.

And if you did sneak a guitar in, be careful: you might have some nurses trying to "take your temperature".

Get well fast.

Sending well wishes for recovery!

Still in the hospital. Hopefully, I’ll be discharged tomorrow. What a drag. 4-6 weeks of treatment at home too. Gah!

Sending plenty of AGF mojo that you get home tomorrow.

Good luck. Looking forward to your return.

I’m home now, but still on iv antibiotics for a few weeks. It’s a giant PIA. I can walk with a cane, but it isn’t easy or comfortable.

Still, not so long ago a joint infection like this was a death sentence, so I’ll just take my lumps and get through.

The worst part is that I’ve had absolutely no lyrical ideas at all. What’s the point of suffering if I can’t even creatively whine about it?

Well, you are home, and things are under control, take it easy. I am sure inspiration will strike, at some point,when things quiet down.

Uh... joint infection, I had to look it up. Another one of these darn things that can take you out.

Those can be really bad. A friend of mine has had 20 surgeries for those in the past 13 months!

I'm glad your doing well. I believe my son will be having both his knees repaired or replaced soon and I know the recovery takes a while but the end result is being able to walk without pain again so hang in there.
