RE: My Knees Were Sawed in Half and Put Back Together Again! A Humerous Look at Having Two Knee Replacements in Your 30's

in #science8 years ago

Thanks! Yeah, mountain climbing isn't really something someone with knee replacements should be doing. They advise against high impact activities, like running, jumping, or gymnastics....things that could put extra wear and tear on the prosthetic knees. But, there are plenty of other activities I can do, like hiking, walking, some yoga, weight training, and things like that. I hate running, anyway. The only good thing to come out of getting the initial knee issue that led to the arthritis when I did was getting out of running the mile for the final exam of my last required semester of P.E. in high school. I got to sit under the shady, cool stadium and watch my friends to it, instead. :)
