This posting about your knee is especially interesting for me because we are consulting the world market leader for grinding machines for the production of knee and hip implantans. I hope you don't mind that I mentioned your blog in the grinding blog: http://schleifblog.electricfeel.de/allgemeine-themen/krise-als-chance-oder-wie-man-knieimplantate-ubers-knie-bricht Maybe you have a HAAS knee now, who knows? Here is the link to HAAS: http://wwww.multigrind.com The other reason why I like this posting is that I can wave it under my old fathers nose and tell him that staying fit and in shape is the best he can do, even with his knee and hip implants. Have a great day! With best regards Norbert Kraas P.S. Just an idea: Could you think about holding a speech at a knee implant producers conference in Germany? Dear Jane,

I have done pretty well; walking fine especially when I am concentrating on the "correct" way (heel and roll up on the toes). It's becoming more natural. My problem is bending. I am riding the bike for approx. 10 min. 4 to 5 times per day and sitting on a big exercise ball while eating or just for exercise (rocking back and forth for bend to the knee). It seems I am making "very slow" strides but maybe I am just anxious to get it done. Also, every morning it seems that I am practically starting over. I have to work through the stiffness and work on the bike, etc. a couple of times to get the motion back to where it was the night before. It does get frustrating but I guess this is normal. I am going to p.t. and am able to duplicate most of what we do there at home. Hopefully, this is just a slow process. Am I overly anxious or is it truly a slow process. I am also doing strengthening exercises, etc. I was thinking the other day, I wish Jane had made a knee rehab. video doing some things to music. It would have made it a little more bearable perhaps! I'm seeing that you are doing some new videos and are looking very fit and the knee seemed to be moving very well. I am about 9 years younger than you so I'm hoping to have similar results. What degree are you bending your knee at and did that continue to improve over a year to two? You are an inspiration. Thank you. Hi Jane,

Try Kim Lyons' program on DVD called "Sit Down and Shape up."" Walking is also effective. My walkout audio tape hs just been released on ipod by a company called Rhino. Good luck.

Skimming thru the blogs, I noticed something about a knee replacement. I am now wondering how you are doing with it several months later. I am 74 and started with my arthritis problems years ago (possibly all the tennis, hiking and biking--never enjoyed exercising per se). Started in back (stenosis) and then was involved in auto accident 7 yrs. ago where I broke a lot of bones and needed plate and rod in leg, plate in wrist and 5 ribs. Lived in a rehab for 3 months and then did out-patient therapy for 3 months. Then had hip replaced two years ago. Now struggling with that bad leg and shoulder problems. Problem tho is that since it became so painful to stand and walk, I had to stop the walking and most activities and have now gained a lot of weight, which has added to the problems. I eat healthfully but probably too much because of my lack of exercise. Got any good ideas? I am scared of back surgery (would need a rod and heard of too many back stories). In fact the idea of any more surguries and recuperation periods just gets me down. Just wish I could get this weight off and see if that would help. Love to travel, tho without being able to walk my legs off seeing everything, it would be a lesson in frustration. Always wanted to see Machu Pichu but would never be able to hike the trail there and climb all those stairs now. Also now that health insurance (including copayments and deductibles has gone up so) and we are now living practically on social security, those dreams of traveling are just about over. Even find it a problem these days to try and clean and cook and get my Beardie out, so I rarely have people over. My husband is not much help either. Horrible way to end days not being able to look forward to fun things and gets one depressed. Just wanted to say I have enjoyed your books (my saving grace is my love of reading). Envy you having a place in NM. Was there many years ago and loved it. The architecture, food and mixture of Spanish, Indian and West is fascinating. Even thought I would love to live there. The Indian crafts were so beautiful and enjoyed driving to the pueblas. Think it would be great at Christmas time. The new O'Keefe museum and seeing her house would be interesting. I've studied interior design and always thought it would be such fun to decorate a house out there. Take care and think it's wonderful you have gotten thru some rough spots in your life and seem to be thriving. My first visit to your website.
