Prognodicate? Is that making a prediction in your sleep, or predicting a snoozer.?

Maybe all the Norco I’m on following knee replacement surgery Tuesday is clouding my judgement but I agree with Alaska.
Cats win.
But I’m not so out of it that I would put money it.
As a knee replacement survivor, I offer best wishes and encouragement for you to follow the prescribed rehab regimen fully. Doing so brought me an extra 15 years (at least) of mobility after having reached a real quality-of-life state. Here's hoping you realize the same success. Go Fcmchi Cat!

Thank you got the good wishes and advice. This might be one of the few times in my life I will follow to the letter what I have been recommended.
Had both knees done and a hip. Quality of life is much better! Ice and religiously do your scoots, bendings, and all rehab. Be a workout warrior!

Rebel,
Thanks for the perspective. It will help when the pain kicks in and I will want to give up.
Question for you Dr. Rebel, I recently had a lower back strain with sciatica. That has resolved, but it affected my left knee, with compromised cartilage and ultimately a fracture that developed. It is improving where I can do most activities without much pain/discomfort, however, I see a knee replacement at some point. Do you have any recommendations for forestalling that? I suspect, the PT they recommend is important.

Some PT is excellent but it is absolutely imperative that you become of the workout warrior mentality that I talked about. My physician recommended going as long as I could before surgery and he was correct. That usually means you are bone on bone in your knee socket. You'll know when it's time!
I’ll second what Rebel said. I was bone on bone for years, even walked over 400 miles on the Route of St. James with it. But try to anticipate the end of your endurance and schedule the surgery before that. I waited about four months too long and I got to the point where I could walk very little.
Talk to your orthopede about PRP / HLA injections. It did wonders for my arthritic knee.
Wow, thank you! I'm taking oral HLA, but need to wait three months from a Cortisone shot for an HLA injection. Oral is helping. I have a borderline arthritic knee. I've given my horse HLA which worked, until he moved on to more intensive remedies, like Osphos, which I don't think humans can withstand. What is PRP?

Thinking with my heart but hoping for a repeat of Dublin when no one gave us a chance. Go ‘Cats.

Had some discomforting pain for 4 days after surgeries, but little if any pain during rehab period. The knee will bend and straighten, friggin' amazing!!!
Of interest to go back and see how right or wrong we were. Even with my optimistic post I underestimated the Cats' final score. Then that Maryland projection did hold until close to the end of the game.
Absent the weird call that negated a sack and the unexpected 75 yard run for a score, the Terps well could have ended with 17 and NU would have been the victors. On that run found it odd that the cameras failed to go back to check if there was holding.
Given the final outcome, it was notable how many correctly predicted Maryland's final score at 31, but how few had NU getting at least 21 points today..

My wife had both knees done at the same time, after 8 prior knee surgeries. Rehab was tough, but she worked diligently at it. The final result was great, and she hasn't had a single problem since. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to wait if you are bone on bone in either or both knees.
No Chores,
Thanks for the insight. I waited about a year too long. But when I considered doing it about a year ago the hospital would not allow an overnight stay due to Covid concerns.
I am definitely no chores for the next few weeks!
Life can be very rewarding for those who do no chores! (I do not regard bringing an iced up cooler of beer to a tailgate as a chore.)
Just be very diligent with your rehab, and I'm sure you'll get a great result!
