Told you worse part would be the IV..... You sound like you are in the same position as me, but with out the Degenerative Joint Disease I have (osteoarthritis) which is playing hell on me. Its bad enough I may be medically retiring. Anyways, couple of things that helped me. Plenty of elevation, ICE...that stuff did wonders, and yes, the pain killers make you feel fuzzy BUT once you take them a couple of times, they do work. You will definitely need 2 because one never does crap. Also, take the bandage off some. The most pain you are feeling is doue to the swelling of the knee. You remove the bandage and you will be amazed at how good it feels...You can put it right back on, you just want it off for a few to get relief.. I am looking at number 3, but this time on the left side. They tell me the only real cure for the DJD is total knee replacement due to how advanced it is (advanced stage 3). Which sux because I am not even 40 yet..And being a police officer, I need my knees...

The worst part was not being able to go #2. I took a bunch of stool softeners and they didn't help. Also this immobilization brace really sucks. I should be out of that next week and I will not be in a brace after that. Seems wierd to me but that's what they said.

 

I was able to bend about 78 deg today, even got on a stationary bike to stretch out my knee used good leg to drive

 

Day 2 I took about 8 pills, yesterday 5 and today only 1 before pt. didn't really need it as the pain isn't unbearable. I ranked my pain at a 3 and they thought I was crazy

J/k, glad you're healing up. You'll be enjoying those 6.2's to their fullest soon enough.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
