since i have been stim free for awhile now i started with 1 red tab before pt today. i have to say i could feel a difference, i was very alert and focused. also took 1 scoop of gm with a scoop of pw and 2 scoops of poseidon. aside from the pain i continue to improve. when i got home i took another dose of gm/pw. i will take another scoop of pw/posidon before bed, along with 2 black tabs of reduction. on a side note, i have been taking wobenzym n. i have made it through an entire day including pushing it at pt without a single pain pill.

i have alot of time on my hands,lol.

took 2 reduction upon waking today, nice to be on stims again. i know i am a stim junkie, i just like having extra energy and stims plain old make me feel good. reduction gets high marks, so far. i expected the effects to be good since i have been stim free for a long time. btw the black pm caps made me sleep longer than i had planned, i will call that a good thing. knee is feeling better today, i think healing process is going very well. pt tomorrow.

I think the healing process is going excellent so far brother!

Just clicked a few links for WE n. IMO I don't see how it could hurt anything.

I'd bet it has some anti-inflammatory properties like cissus. On the flip side, there's not a whole lot of convincing evidence that anything actually instigates joint (technically cartilage) regeneration. Of course in your case, you probably have only 1/2 as much joint to regenerate with your new improved fancy knee

my new moniker 'thebigbionict'.

pt went real good today, i am going to wear my air cast and use my cane, but i am taking my dog for a walk today. i am really enjoying the supplements i am taking, nothing hormonal for awhile now. i believe i am going to come out of this in decent shape. btw i am thinking about going fishing with some of my buds from work this weekend.

everytime i see your avatar i am reminded how much i want to see 'dark knight'. the last really good movie i saw was 'no country for old men'. btw just got through listening to allman bro's 'one way out' and cream's 'white room', now im gonna listen to stones 'paint it,black'. saw a best of rare earth at the mall with a 21 minute version of 'get ready' going to have my wife pick it up. too bad todays music ain't got no soul.

went to gym today-whoohoo. only went 60%, upper body is still strong, i am thinking once i am healed the strength will come back quickly. btw the reduction is working well to keep appetite in check. usually when i am less active i eat-a lot. i been taking a dose of green mag before doing simple things like taking dog for walk, along with a 2 scoop dose of purple wraath to drink on the way. muscle mass and tone is holding up nice. going to a buds house to play poker tonight, wish me luck...

Dark Knight was kick asss! It's worth taking the time to see IMO, especially if you liked Batman Begins.

One Way Out and White Room are 2 of my favs. I just saw Chris Cornell from Soundgarden the other night and he was pretty darn good too. But I agree, he's one of the few "modern" rockers that knows how to get it done. I've only heard a handful of Rare Earth stuff but my initial impression is that they were a pretty good group.

How's pain with the day to day stuff like walkin the dog? It sure sounds like u're on the right track so far T

Great progress...! That's interesting about being inactive and hungry. Usually the opposite for me; the more active I am the hungrier I am. Either way REDuction will take care of that!
60% is really good after a surgery like this man.

aaah pain, it's worth it though. rare earth is like kiss, the live albums are much better than studio,imo. glad to hear you like dark knight.

the hunger from working out is different. idleness just makes me want to eat junk, mental thing i think. and yes the reduction is helping with that. yeah, i am proud of what ive been able to do so far.

pt is getting more advanced now, been staying over and doing upper body. breaking a sweat feels great. taking reduction everyday, along with poseidon/pw/gm. i am actually starting to feel kinda good. i am very optimistic for a full recovery.

Thats the idea! Thats the only recovery I am willing to accept, whatever hurdles there will be along the way! No doubt man! Just listen to yourself the WHOLE ride!

thanks for checking in, dustin. glad to hear you are hitting it hard.

It feels great to get back in the gym after surgery and even just look at the weights
