Dear Governor Jeff,

I am sharing the following information onmy successful knee surgery performed 6 weeks ago. I waited to share thisgreat information withour fellow Rotarians, their family and friends until 6 weekswent by so I could determine that this procedure passed all four parts of the ROTARY 4 Way Test, I ammost happy to say that it does. Please have this posted to ourdistrict web site for .11 to benefit. I do not own stock in the medical equipment manufacture, or receive any compensation from the great doctor or the hospital. My reward is in knowing that others can benefit from my experience.

On 10/31/07 I had a partial knee replacement operation. I walked (sort of) in like a duck,& at 9-30 they took me to the OR& I was back in myroom by 1:00. At I:30 a nurse came & said it was time to walk. Iwalkedwithout a limp,caneor knee pain. The arthritic knee joint cannothave gone past a certain stage. but if a person is there it is like a miracle. If you would like to see this computer drivensurgery info go to http://www.makosurgical.comlmakoptasty.hbn. My surgeon. Dr Stefan Kreuzer (http://www.adultjointreeQnstruction.com), was very skilful and more than great. and the Mako Surgical computer controlledthe boundaries of thedrill so theholefor the implant was perfect. If a person could usethis procedure, thatwould be wonderful. There are only 5 of these machines in the world, one of which is here inHouston at Foundation Surgical Hospital (www.foundationsurgery.com) andthere only two surgeons inHouston certified to use the machine. I know in my heart that my doctor is the best! There are a lot of Rotariansas well aso thers with arthritis in the 40 to 70 age group that could benefit.

Please note that I do daily exercisesandtake walks to strengthenmy leg and get the range ofmotion inmy kneeback. It is great towalk without pain (I get very emotional about this!). I also lost 26 poundswhich I needed to do anyway, but good physical shape improves the outcome of anything.

Regards.
Jerry A
