I think it's about what makes you feel good. I think your hair looks good.

Hello, all.

I started getting grays in my 20s. Been coloring my hairs since I was in my 30s. Whatever makes you feel good.

Say, I've been wondering, surely I am not the only one who has had knee surgery hear. How have any of you dealt with the after effects ? At the moment dealing with a still tender scar plus the cold weather is not making me
a happy camper. Any comments are apresheated.

Hi friend, I had total knee replacement two years ago. So far no weather related stuff but a big part of my calf is still numb. Please consult with your doctor if you are having issues.

Hi Rock. I had my left knee done 2 years ago this past March..I have the Stryker prosthetic in it. I went on a trip to St Croix via San Juan Puerto Rico 7 weeks post op.

I don't have any "issues" with mine other than it IS a prosthetic joint, and as such, it does not/will not ever....bend like the natural knee. With that said, I was pain free the moment I woke up....and have been ever since.

The "cold" doesn't bother it, as it is a prosthetic joint. The scar will take a year or more to feel "normal again". Nerves are cut doing that surgery & is never a guarantee to not feel some numbness. The horrible pain being gone is well worth the benefits of having a total knee done.

Everyone is unique & different, so as such, each one heals a lot differently & rehabs differently.

Try to stay as upbeat as you can & focus on the positive aspects of "I will get better & play pool in January" mindset. It is a different recovery for a total joint as opposed to any other surgeries.

This is all my own experience & opinions...and in no way dismisses anyone else's journey...just offering advice & input you asked for.

BTW I still have the right one to get done BUT I want to finish my weight loss journey, as that is a very important aspect for total knees/hips, etc.

Good luck my friend..hang in there
