WOW, I’VE HAD 365 VIEWS OF THIS T-SHIRT SO FAR. THAT JUST TOTALLY AMAZES ME. I HAVE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND SAY, THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER PURCHASED ONE,THEN TWO AND FINALLY 5 OF MY SHIRTS. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SELL ANY OF THIS SHIRT, OTHER THAN TO MYSELF THAT IS. SO TO THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE WEARING THEM, I HOPE YOU GET GOOD COMMENTS AND CONVERSATION BECAUSE OF THEM. MY LEFT KNEE WAS REPLACED IN 2003. MY FIRST RIGHT KNEE WAS REPLACED IN 2006 AND THEN PARTIALLY REDONE IN 2007. TO THIS DAY, MY RIGHT KNEE STILL ISN’T UP TO PAR. I TOOK MY XRAY OF MY LEG LENGTH STUDY TO DO THIS T SHIRT WITH. I REALLY WASN’T PLANNING ON SELLING ANY OF THIS SHIRT TO ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF. WHEN I SOLD THE FIRST ONE AND I WASN’T THE PERSON THAT BOUGHT IT, I WAS SURPRISED. WHEN I SOLD 4 MORE OF THEM AND I STILL HADN’T PURCHASED ONE FOR MYSELF, I FIGURED I HAD BETTER GET AT LEAST ONE FOR MYSELF. SO TO WHOMEVER PURCHASED MY SHIRTS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT AND I HOPE YOUR KNEES ARE WORKING AND ARE MORE STABLE THAN MINE ARE.

RECENTLY, I WAS ASKED TO ENTER A CHALLENGE IN THE C.O.R.E. GROUP, WITH A T-SHIRT DESIGN IN THE AREA OF BIOMECHANICS. WELL, THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF FOR THAT TYPE OF SUBJECT, WAS ONE OF MY SIDE BY SIDE LEG X RAYS. IT SHOWS THAT BIOMECHANICS ARE IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE RIGHT NOW. THERE WAS A TIME, IF SOMEONE HAD KNEES LIKE MINE, THEY WOULD JUST CUT THEM OFF AND STICK THE PERSON IN A WHEEL CHAIR. IF HE MADE IT THROUGH THE SURGERY THAT IS. MY LEFT KNEE WAS BONE ON BONE FOR 33 YEARS AND MY RIGHT ONE WAS HALF BONE ON BONE FOR 38 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE GAP BETWEEN THE TITANIUM BONE CAPS, THE RIGHT KNEE JOINT IS NOT QUITE LEVEL WITH THE LEFT KNEE. MY DOCTOR STILL HASN’T GOT MY RIGHT KNEE COMPLETELY CORRECT, BUT COMPARED TO THE REAL KNEES THAT I WAS BORN WITH, ALL I CAN SAY IS “THANK GOD FOR TITANIUM”. I HAVE A LOT LESS PAIN, EVEN THOUGH MY RIGHT KNEE WILL BEND INWARD TOWARDS MY LEFT KNEE. THAT IS WHAT STILL HAS TO BE CORRECTED. THE NEXT TIME I HAVE TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY, I’M GOING TO HAVE THEM BOTH REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. THAT WAY, I CAN BE PRETTY SURE THAT I WILL GET THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND SIZE COMPONENTS IN BOTH KNEES. THESE WERE DONE THREE YEARS APART BETWEEN THE LEFT KNEE AND THE FIRST RIGHT KNEE ATTEMPT. THEY ARE ALSO DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS AND YOU CAN SEE THE WAY THAT THEY DON’T LINE UP WITH EACH OTHER THE WAY THEY SHOULD. MY SURGERIES WERE PERFORMED IN VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA AT OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL. I WENT THROUGH ABOUT 18 MONTHS OF TOTAL REHABILITATION. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE 3 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR. IT TOOK 18 MONTHS TO GET RID OF ALL THE PAIN AND TO GAIN AS MUCH FUNCTION AS I WAS GOING TO GET BACK AND BE TOTALLY DONE WITH MY PHYSICAL THERAPY. THEY SAY EACH PATIENT IS DIFFERENT,,,,THEY WEREN’T KIDDING THERE. I’LL BE GLAD WHEN THE REFIT DAY COMES AND BOTH KNEES ARE THE SAME.
