I think it's about what makes you feel good. I think your hair looks good.

Hello, all.

I started getting grays in my 20s. Been coloring my hairs since I was in my 30s. Whatever makes you feel good.

Say, I've been wondering, surely I am not the only one who has had knee surgery hear. How have any of you dealt with the after effects ? At the moment dealing with a still tender scar plus the cold weather is not making me
a happy camper. Any comments are apresheated.

Hi friend, I had total knee replacement two years ago. So far no weather related stuff but a big part of my calf is still numb. Please consult with your doctor if you are having issues.

I think I was 38 the last I sneaked into the loft at another time and another place. It's just not as fun to be here now that I'm actually 46 and qualified..But it's good too see others again..

Hello and thanks for the reply. I have and app with the Doc next week to check things out but he was out of town this week. For the most part things are o.k. but I realized that this wasn't going to be a quick recovery or even be as easy to deal with. So far it has been near three months and I am just starting to drive short distances like the Doctors office grocery ect.. My back issues have come to play in my recovery but after a few sessions with pain car it seams to be working out bit by bit how ever slow it may be. I have one spot behind my knee to the inside of the left knee that has muscle cramps . Finely figuring out how to get in the family suv has become less and less of an issue, it is huge but with a few devices I am getting in and out of it fairly well. Only time will tell how it ends up, I am hoping to be back at the pool tables by the first of January so I'm crossing my fingers about that, hear is to hope. I told my Doctor he needs to re wright the booklet he has in the office that says most people are back to work in a month after surgery... no one should ever think that's a reality.

Hi Rock. I had my left knee done 2 years ago this past March..I have the Stryker prosthetic in it. I went on a trip to St Croix via San Juan Puerto Rico 7 weeks post op.

I don't have any "issues" with mine other than it IS a prosthetic joint, and as such, it does not/will not ever....bend like the natural knee. With that said, I was pain free the moment I woke up....and have been ever since.

The "cold" doesn't bother it, as it is a prosthetic joint. The scar will take a year or more to feel "normal again". Nerves are cut doing that surgery & is never a guarantee to not feel some numbness. The horrible pain being gone is well worth the benefits of having a total knee done.

Everyone is unique & different, so as such, each one heals a lot differently & rehabs differently.

Try to stay as upbeat as you can & focus on the positive aspects of "I will get better & play pool in January" mindset. It is a different recovery for a total joint as opposed to any other surgeries.

This is all my own experience & opinions...and in no way dismisses anyone else's journey...just offering advice & input you asked for.

BTW I still have the right one to get done BUT I want to finish my weight loss journey, as that is a very important aspect for total knees/hips, etc.

Good luck my friend..hang in there

Happy Thanks Giving to every one, may you have a fantastic day.
This year I am doing something I never have done...I ordered out from our local mom and pop grocery. I know they can do a good job as I have eaten there lots of times when I did feel like cooking.

Well all I can say is I have been white headed like my mother since I was about 32 so I took to dye till I turned 50 then stopped. To each their own but the ladies kind of like it LOL.
Like my aunt use to say "age is a number and I am not listed". I would like to second that.
