Just curious if you mean that literally, as in, do you really walk with a limp?? You don't have to answer if it's too personal of a question. Just trying to understand what you're saying.
 
Sometimes. Depends on how it feels in the morning.

Usually, after playing, I'm a bit gimpy but that goes away after a day or so.

This one hasn't gone away totally.
 
Based on this thread, you can tell there is a distinct lack of objective data for the public to judge the quality of a physician/surgeon. The data exists and is accessible by insurance companies, hospitals, and the federal government.

Some of quality related data is now becoming available to the public via the Medicare website:

1) Hospital Comparehttp://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html

2) Physician Compare**http://www.medicare.gov/physiciancompare/search.html

**This site does not have individual physician data yet, but it will in the future.

As a patient you should ask:
1) What is your background/education/certifications?
2) How many of these procedures have you performed?
3) What is your complication rate? (i.e. what % of your surgical cases end up having problems)
4) What are the risks, benefit, and alternatives of the procedure?
5) Have you been sued before? How many malpractice claims have been filed against you? For what amount did you settle or have a judgement placed against you?**

**This is one you'd like have but is only available to lawyers and health care organizations/government agencies via The National Practitioner Data Bankhttp://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/index.jsp

So, since there are chronic issues with both, do they think you are bound to end up in a Rascal scooter eventually?? *Beep, beep.*

I'm hoping bionic knee replacement becomes more standard by then.

But it doesn't protect the achilles... or the knee bones. :)

My knee is almost 100%, worked out 3x a week for the last two weeks.  Non-impact elliptical machine though.  Didn't require surgery, just about 8 weeks of PT.  It turned out well, in a way pushing me back into the gym as I got scared how my body is not holding up. 
 
congrats man - although im not gonna lie, part of me was hoping you were jacked up so you could use Dr Clapper and report back :-)

Haha, just trying to get back in shape.  Goal is sub 200 lbs by Christmas and to maintain it.  Slow and steady 20 min cardio 3x/week.  Some bench press to tone my out of shape pecs (please don't go there, my daughter is already making fun of me).  Then I will audition for American Ninja Warrior... yeah right..

If you tone them, where are you going to hold your phone?
