Lee Gernantz: My name is Lee Gernantz I'm 61 years old, I live in Mission, Texas. A lot of people play golf and play tennis and I ride horses and rope calves and those are my passions that I like to do. I've been rodeoing myself all through junior high and high school and rodeod in college. We have two sons and they both participated. It's kind of in our blood. About a year and a half, maybe two years ago, my knees would got real sore and swollen and I couldn't do what I wanted to do and I had them both worked on but my left knee kept giving me problems and hurting, and come to find out you know it's arthritis and and it's bone-on-bone. I had talked to a friend that had a partial knee replacement and he was really really pleased with it and so I decided that that's what I'm going to do because I'm not getting any younger and you know I've got too many things I want to do, you know participate in the old timers rodeo and I was afraid if I had a total replacement I couldn't do it. I'll be real honest with you it wasn't what I expected, I expected to be a lot more. I went in on Friday and I went home on on Sunday. Within a week I was off the walker or something like that, I was off the walker pretty quick. It's been 90 days since my surgery and it doesn't hurt I don't limp but there's no pain. I'm already riding riding horses and getting them back into shape and so now I'm back to it and we're in a regiment. I feel like with this partial knee replacement I'll be back what I enjoy doing. I would definitely do it again. You know I tell all my friends that I wouldn't be afraid you know to do it, I'm not gonna be afraid, I might have the other one done now.
