Meat's Knees....
 

Sincerely hoping the op isn't too bad and you recover quickly, and stronger than ever.

Don't know exactly when you go under the knife Meat, but let me be the first to wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

Let us know exactly when and we will be thinking of you on the day, and wishing you the best throughout your recovery.

Absolutely agree! Will definitely be thinking of you and hoping all is well!!!!

Yeah, same here, all the best Meat, hope it all goes well for you. I'll be thinking of you.

Carole

Meat you will be up and about in no time. Just in time for a new series of Dancing with the Stars.:lol:

Dear God No!!

Seriously though, it's only knee surgery. I imagine that ML can afford good surgeons, so Dr.Nick won't be doing the work.

"Well if isn't Meat Loaf. With an arm for a leg and a leg for an arm."

:D

Get well soon Meat! Hope you're up and about in no time.

Get well soon Big Man, may I recommend lots of TLC and G&T! :up:

Maybe wait till the Doctors give you the all clear before you get down on them and Testify huh?

Hope all goes well, and having been through a couple of minor knee operations in the past myself, from bitter experience - make sure you do ALL your physio afterwards!

Get well soon, Meat. You've come up against worse than this before and triumphed, and I know you'll triumph again.

Good luck :) Cannot wait to see you next year so take care of yourself :D

I'll think of you Meat !! I always think of you but on that thay I'll think of you even more if that is still possible !! I'll send you feel better thoughts and hugs to ease the pain...Take good care of yourself, love you ! XO

Get well soon MEATY!

:twisted: Feel better soon Meat.
And for god's sake, give yourself some time to heal :lol:

wish you all the best, Meat!!

Good luck Meat :-)

Best wishes Meat.

These aren't minor.

I hope everything goes great for you Meat. love ya

Meat,

I know you will tackle this challenge like an athlete....yeah, it's gonna hurt, but in the end you'll be in a much more comfortable state than you have been leading up to and dealing with the foreplay of "procedures" on them. Focus on the rehab/physio with your tenacious drive and it'll be a okay. Cheers to a successful surgery and recovery!

Much love,
Suzanne

I'm quite sure that Andy meant that his own knee ops were minor, not that his ops were also minor

I know that replacements are major surgery, the parallel I was attempting to draw was that after two minor operations I know the benefits of enduring with the physio (both in session and the exercises one is given to do on a regular basis when the physio isn't around), so it's even more important for a double knee replacement.

Maybe too much begging on your knees in Dead Ringer thru the years :lol::lol:
Good luck and best wishes Meat!

get better soon then next year we can all have a right old knees up luv ya xx

Good luck with your operation, Meat, and be brave and positive about it (coming from someone who hurt their knee 8 months ago and won't go to the doctor)! Let us know how it went and I might listen to you and do something about mine:)

love
scardeycat x

Take care meat your fans on here all want you fit and well

I go in for Surgery on Nov19th... hoping for it to be straight forward, the Dr told us my knee looked completely different than what he has seen before. It was pushed out and to the left. Normally 99% turn in and right. He said it might be nothing but won't know till he get's inside. I am hoping all my tendons can be saved . That is my one fear. If they replace tendons the recovery is much longer !! I am afraid I tore a tendon on that movie Stage Fright, doing a stunt. If I drank Beer I would toast all of you right now !
Meat

Yuck!!! Definitely crossing my fingers then that everything works out like you hope.

Sending thoughts, hugs & prayers your way! :D

Good luck, Meat. I'm sur eyou'll be fine! :)

ouch ouch ouch! Hope goes well Meat.

I'll toast my Vino to you. Take it easy sir :D

I'm sorry to hear that about the tendon Meat :( I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that you didn't tear it .. and everything goes smoothly for you :pray:
Please keep us posted !

Love Vicki xo

Well I had a few last night, I'll dedicate them to you :)

I tore ligaments in both knees when I was younger.....don't ask!! :) it hurt like heck and they still bother me today from time to time. Didn't have surgery ..to scared! I sympathize with ya!! Praying everything for you is OK and.you have a speedy recovery! !!!

I won't say I'm not worried!! But you have all my best wishes, and I'm sending them to your surgeon too!!
Love, Kathy

Unique, in even more ways than we knew ;) Hope they can keep the tendons intact .. where's that crossed fingers emoticon when I need it? Closest is :up: One thing I know, there's no-one more determined. Thinking of you, and will be doing so on 19th, and willing the best result and the fastest recovery ... :pray:

Caryl xo

Hey Meat, I love you and hope that everything goes well on Monday, please keep us posted if you can, I know it's going to be a rough road as I hear about it everyday (I'm a pharmacy technician). Take care of yourself, listen to the docs and the therapists and be the fighter that you are! I'll raise my glass of wine to you have a speedy recovery. I'll be worried to death on Monday honestly but I know you will pull through! Love you!!!

Interesting about anatomy orientation of the knee. I never knew.

I will toast to you, but the stiffest I have at the moment is a bottle of H2O (it's a work night).

Sidebar: A stunt :shock: You are really trying to make me worry!

Request (please):
Do you think you can throw out a courtesy status somewhere, when you are up to it, and after surgery is complete to let all us mother hens off the hook of worry on Nov. 19th? Pretty Please and thank you in advance.

Suz.

Wow, that sounds very painful Meat, I hope it isn't that bad and you have a very quick recovery. Will be thinking of you!!!! Take care.

Carole

I second that :up:

I third that with puppy dog eyes and a pouty smile! LOL!:pray:

As one of the "mother hens" I want to wish you the best of luck with your surgery Meat.

Been a registered nurse for 16 years, I just recently went back to Med/Surg floor nursing a month ago. We get a lot of bilateral knees. I am astonished to see how incredibly advanced ortho has become over the years. I know in my heart you will do just fine. Undeniably a painful, major surgery but I also know, just from being a huge fan, you have what it takes...endurance!!

From my experience, when it's over and you are fully recovered and pain free...you will feel like the six million dollar man with "bionic" knees!!

I watched you run across the stage 8 shows this year in AWE, I can't even imagine what you'll be like in 2013!!

PCA, CPM, and PT are a must! Nurse's orders! ;)

You will be in my thoughts and prayers on Monday and as always.

Love ya!!

It will take as long as it takes Meat, I know it will be really frustrating for you but just take the time to rest up. Maybe you could spend the time coming up with ideas for that sports bar you said about :-)

Fingers crossed all goes well.

I'll be thinking of you on the 19th and hoping your surgery goes well.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Trust you're knee to be difficult :lol: Just kidding Meat take care and I'll be thinking of you on the 19th! x

It sounds bad, but hopefully your tendons can be saved. I hope your surgery goes well.

Regardless of how long you are out for, listen to the doctors and take the appropriate time to recover. I can just imagine you wanting to rush back to work :lol:

I'll be thinking about you. All the best :-)

Mike x

Meat it might be time to get back on the beer. Here's for a speedy recovery.:cheers:

Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery, Meat.

Everything will go juuust fine! You`ll see!!
You are Meat, you know, so everything will be perfect again....LoL
Viking-hugs from Tine

Best wishes Meat I hope the surgery goes to plan!

Sending hugs, positive thoughts and prayers your way. You're tough enough to bounce back. Just do what the doctors say, that's the key to a speedy recovery. Get that rehab. ;):D:-P

keeping my fingers crossed that all your tendons can be saved!! will be thinking of you on monday even more as usual :-)
all the best for your surgery and a very speedy recovery!!!
xoxo

:twisted: Hope all goes well big guy :up:
Don't forget to come online as soon as you feel up to it to let us know how you are (or even ask Paul to post a quick message to let us know everything went ok).
I dare say a few people will be anxious to hear that you're ok :wink:
I'll have a beer for you when the job is done :cheers:

Good luck Meat, you'll be in all our thoughts.

Love and best wishes.

Hey Meat, you'll be okay don't worry... I think of you !!! ((hugs)) xxo

Meat-will be thinking of you!!Wishing you a speedy recovery and all will go well.Have faith.And for crying out loud,keep rockin'!<3

good luck and all the best for the op mr loaf

Today is the day.

Will be thinking of you and hoping all is as good as it can be.

Hoping you take care and wishing a quick (but unhurried) recovery.

We can wait 'till you are right for the last tour....

Rich - and many others!

Well for us today is the day, its still yesterday in the US :P but yes, thinking of you Meat.

It's all over now, I hope it went well and he got to keep his tendons!

As a knee sufferer.....
 

Good luck Meat! As someone who has had dodgy knees for many years, which click in and out at the most inappropriate times, and grind more than Charlie Sheen, I wish you the very best for a quick recovery from the op.

I second that :up:

Shitty deal Meat. Sucks hurting yourself doing a stunt.

Good soldier doing it, but maybe they'll hire a stunt double for you next time. Wario perhaps? :twisted:

From memory he said in an interview he didn't like the way stunt guys moved etc when doing his parts. So I assume they would have gotten him one

Got word a little while ago from someone close to Meat. The surgery went fine. He was out of recovery.......and cracking jokes!

Like I said on Facebook, that sounds typical of him, but wait until the drugs wear off lol.

Great to hear it's gone well though.

Oh hooray! SO happy for YOU meaty! Hope the recovery goes just as well!! <3

Yes :-) And now it's in Meat's hands rather than the lap of the Gods and the surgeon, I have no doubt that he will make sure it does. There's no-one I'd put more money on energetically reaching his goal ;)

Really glad to hear it's gone well. I suspect getting the fella to stay calm and take his rest will be the tricky part now ;)

I think he plans to take a rest from the internet .. or will be encouraged to ;) .. while he ploughs on with the tough task of rehab :-)

great news :-)

glad your operation is over get well soon xxx

:twisted: Glad the op went well, and hope you're feeling better soon Meat :up:

Until then, you'll have to race around on one of those mobility scooters you raced on the one show :lmao:

:up:

Yeah, that probably is the idea, but we all know Meat. How long till he gets bored. Glad it went well for you Meat, here's to a quick recovery. :D

Carole

Now that Meat is skipping up and down the ward, I hope his renewed athleticism will mean a revival of his show-concluding roly polies. As a safety precaution Mr. Crook and Mr. Flowers can act as human buffers either end of the stage to halt any excessive momentum.

Get well soon dude, Take your time, you will be able to jump to your left soon and then maybe a step to the right :)

Hi Meat,

Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while and spent the last couple of days catching up. I hope the operation and the recovery is going well. I hope the tendons were saved too and I hope you haven't been in too much pain and managed to keep yourself and your mind as busy as you can as I know recovery can be pretty boring if you're limited to what you can do.

Take care and hope to hear from you soon!

All the best

Let me tell you this, the pain during the 4th week is still unbelievable . Can't move around for much more than 45mins. Spoke to a baseball manger who is in his 8th week and he said the pain is less and started to get less in the 7th week . It will get better I know it just seems like forever.
M

There's a lot of people here rooting for ya!!!! Stick with the physio, have a great Christmas & New Year and we'll be rockin' with ya in April!!!!!!!!!

Second that!

Just take your time and keep listening to the doc ... You'll get there!

It is really painful those first weeks, but of all people you'll get there .. you have the guts and determination. Hope it gets a a little less painful each day ... and then a whole lot less painful .. and the painful journey will start to get shorter ..

And you have so many thousands thinking of you and wishing you there.

Lovely to hear from you :D

Caryl xoxo

It's so great hearing from you Meat ... we've really missed you :heart:

I'm sorry to hear you're still in such pain .... but I know it'll be better for you soon too. You're still in my thoughts :D

I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year !!!

Love you always,
Vicki xoxo

Great to hear from you. I think 45 mins is a good effort!

So very happy to hear from you!!! I know your strong and have great determination and willpower to get your knees back on track!! Good luck! Praying your recovery still goes smoothly for you..love ya,
Nicole

Sorry you're still in pain Meat. :( Hope it eases for you soon. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Carole

Make sure you take the time to heal. Even after the pain is gone. Good luck and Merry Hollidays:cool:

It's lovely to hear from you Meat although I'm sorry to hear that it's still so painful for you. Hopefully it'll start to get easier for you soon.

We're all rooting for you and thinking of you during your recovery.

It will get better - Soon I hope!

Take care and do what the Doctors say. See you in April.

Hi Meat hope you soon feel a lot better xxx

Awe Meat! I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. But on the flip side, I'm so glad to see your post.

It goes without saying that you are strong, determined and focused to right your new knee.

We've been cheering you on loud and proud.....and will continue to do so!

Much love,
Suzanne.

Meat, it is so good to hear from you, I am sorry to hear you are still in a lot of pain, I know it's frustrating since you are always wanting to be on the go and don't like being held back but it will get better. I think of you every day...Stay strong, you have an amazing fan base here that has your back and is supporting you completely on your recovery journey. We love you with every part of our being.

Hi Meat!
I'm so sorry to hear you're still in such an awful pain, but I know you're very strong and can go through this hard time ... I'm thinking of you every day and keep on praying for your recovery. 45 minutes after 4 weeks is really great!!
Take care of yourself!!
Love you so much, Irene

:twisted: Hi Meat.
Thanks for taking the time to swing by to let us know how you're getting on :up:
Sorry to hear you're in such pain (especially over the festive season) but keep up with the physio and it'll get better in time.
We're all sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery and a very merry Christmas.

See you on tour next year, and if you get bored resting up in the meantime i'll give you an ass whooping at Mini Golf on the forum arcade :mrgreen: :lawl:
