This is what the shiney new knee looks like before they cover the thing up with my muscle, facia, skin, etc. Titanium shelf on the tibia, cobalt chromium on the femur, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethelene on the back of the patella as well as in the middle. Nice, eh?
Nat--thanks lots for the shot of the toes--I did not paint these prior to surgery--doc must have had a bit too much time on his hands.....

These pictures are awesome. It wa nice of whoever took them to do that.
Poppy after seeing your new knee said it is your "pretend" knee. We told her it was artificial but she said yeah, it is pretend.
What do ya think grandpa...does it feel pretend?
Osacar said (after seeing your painted toes picture) that "that's not grandpa's foot...it looks too new."
Pretty cool pics...and I like the pink toenails.
