roneva Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The mod bug has finally bit me. Tomorrow I go for my first mod, unfortunately it is to me, not the Vette. I'm having a total right knee titanium replacement. The Doc has promised me that I will be able to press the accelerator much faster after the surgery. Meanwhile I will miss the next couple of cruises, as any of you know who have driven a C4, there is no room for the right foot to move over so you can operate the pedals with the left foot. This will be my first experience as a hospital patient (wasn't even born in a hospital) Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedratchet Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I hope you have a speedy recovery. Maybe you'll get 25 HP out of the new mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 What about your golf game? How's it affect your handicap? Maybe now you'd qualify for handicapped tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roneva Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thx for the good wishes. I'll have to think about that left foot adapter kit :D As for the golf game, I did all of the tournaments before I scheduled the Sx. Two weeks ago we werein Jacksonville, Fl and won that couples tournament for the second year in a row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert and Elizabeth Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 We hope your recovery goes well and that it is quick. I have recovered many patients that have had this procedure done. They do really well. Ask the anesthesiologist to give you a spinal block so when you wake up afterwards, you feel no pain in the knee area. You can feel above and below the knee, just not the knee area itself. It is pretty cool. Just my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
