I have three days on the snow now with my new Smith-Nephew Legend total knee replacement.
A bit about how it is going.......
I took a year off to heal, rehab, train and learn new balance skills.
Yesterday I skied with an old buddy who is heavily certified in both the Austrian and PSIA systems.
He has been watching me ski on 1 1/2 legs, in pain for a very long time.
After ski yesterday, he told me he has never seen me ski better!
I'm gradually learning my new body and building confidence.
I don't have any idea where my limits now are so I'm skiing my SL skis and keeping it under 25-30 mph.
Things getting better at 72....?
Totally amazing, good thing I donated my speed suit and race gear to our local ski academy.
I got game!
If anyone wants to hear more this give this thread a like and I'll fill in some details.
