My Comeback Story: Robert J.

By 2022, my problematic right knee locked up with a baker's cyst inhibiting normal movement. The knee had been problematic for decades, but I had managed. Now I could not walk, swim or cycle. I was broken in spirit. Dr. Worrell encouraged me, and shared with a smile, "It was time." I agreed. On Feb 1, 2022 I had my right knee replacement surgery. Slowly after the surgery, my knee came back to active life. Sure, the first two months were hard. Yet, I was able to ski each of the last three ski seasons, hike on the Appalachian Trail, even hike 20 miles in one day in Feb. 2025. I am back! Time to celebrate more!!!
