About ten years ago, I was up at the VA hospital getting ready to have my knee scoped. Anyway, I ran into a WWII vet who had both of his knees replaced. This was the first time I had ever heard of knee replacement, so I asked the veteran how his knees were.
I still, to this day, hardly believe what I saw, even though it was arms length away right infront of me. He says, "my knees are great!" And without using his hands, goes down to sit indian style on the lobby floor, and again without using his hands pops right back up to standing. "My knees have never been better."
Now I can still do this myself, somewhat, but not with the speed, agility, and fluidity this 80 year old man did it!
