No one probably remembers me though lol.

Life got crazy hectic, I had to go through 2 major knee surgeries, my moms passing, had to change schools cause of surgery.

Anyways, i figured i would make a new introduction. I missed all the useful info on here!

Im mike, 32, from upstate NY but now i have a house in New mexico. right on the state line of TX-NM. Did 5 years active Army, now out and using the gi bill. Going through recovery from patella realignment surgery on both knees. recovery is taking for everrrr. School is out next week so that will give me a ton of free time to get more into detailing. Just order the Rupes LHR15 MarkII Bigfoot. So excited to try that out.

I will be practicing the polisher on these,

Welcome back and hope you fully recover!

As a survivor of 4 knee surgeries, take your time. Even if they feel good, take it slow or you will be going under the knife the rest of your life. Did the VA pay. After 5 years of active duty knee injuries are common. Especially if you were Airborne.

Thanks Guys!

As for my knees,
after getting out of the army i found out i had patella alta (its where the knee caps ride higher then normal) this is why they like to dislocate so easy.
im on surgery #3, most likly will be #4 in the summer
1st surgery was becasue i dislocated my knee so bad it stretched and ripped up everything.
june and dec last year i had Patella Realignment (they fracture the tibia in order to move the tendon over then screw it down)
Still healing from those, cant kneel, bend, squat, run, ect
Left knee has to much scar tissue so its giving me issues.

So thats where im at now lol

Welcome back, I was airborne in the USMC for 2.5 of my 5 years and having many many knee problems. Even got 12% disability check when I got out. Also from Upstate NY where you were from. This place has changed but most of it for the better.
