[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 12018586, member: 23235"] funny, i made a similar deal with my wife (seriously)---minus the vasectomy and bad knee. i have a GT500 on order, and we're still talking about having the 4th kid. i'm happy with 3, my wife is wanting to have a 4th badly. i know i'll never regret having another kid, so i gave in--ha ha. as far as the knee goes, get it replaced (not amputated). you will NOT, i repeat NOT be able to run on an above-the-knee amputation---despite everything you see on tv/etc. there's a HUGE difference between a 21 year old serviceman losing his leg in combat and being able to run, verses a 40-60 year old trying to do the same thing. if you were to get a below-the-knee amputation done, guess what?? the knee joint still has arthritis and would likely need to be replaced to relieve pain. that doesn't factor in the psychological trauma of amputating a body part, public perception of amputees (still, in this day and age), the huge cost of prostheses, dealing with stump pain, and the very real problem of disabling phantom limb pain. i've had to amputate several legs in my career for various reasons but would NEVER consider it so that someone could avoid the fact that they would not be able to run on a knee replacement. i do knee replacements for a living and will tell you straight-up, to give up running. get the knee replaced, and move on with enjoying your life. pick up cycling/swimming as a sport. much, much easier on the knees and you can do that as much as you want with your new knee. if you haven't tried cortisone injections, or synvisc injections, try them--you might be able to buy a few more years of running, if that is truly your passion. some people can run on knee replacements, but you will dramatically decrease the life of the knee by doing that. let me know when you're ready for a new knee--i know the best knee surgeon in tampa--worth the drive for you. edit----just saw the part where you're 37. i'd definitely get a second opinion on the necessity of a knee replacement. i've replaced several knees in people in their 30's, but that is by far, not the norm. you might be a candidate for a partial knee replacement, a meniscal transplant, or an osteotomy. i'd make this knee that you have last as long as possible. pm me a picture of your xrays if you have them kirk [/QUOTE]
