Never hurts to err on the side of caution - if something catastrophic happens, and it's traced back to the oil change intervals, you'll never forgive yourself.

Q, a ridgeline actually seems like the perfect do it all car for you to replace the equinox.
We looked at the passport. Found it to be too big and bulky. I don’t think the wife liked the nose either. But it came off the list.
The sport is also pretty stripped on both that and the ridgeline. Good deal, if you can live with one.

Kia is missing a chance on its SUVs. The Sportage could be a better seller but it has an unattractive front end that makes it look strange and the rest of it is no great shakes either. They refreshed it recently but it only improved it slightly. The entire thing needs a reskin. Meanwhile the Tucson is everywhere.

Some of us *cough*me*cough* actually told him that at the time. But did he listen? Nooooooooooo. :laughing:

Now, at Enterprise drive only vehicles that have been sold to their new owners and never deal with rentable vehicles or customers. Like this much better as the customers used to annoy me when they'd lie to the rental guys faces or just be somewhat rude when I either picked them up or took them home. Only bad thing is I no longer drive the new vehicles that come into the holding area which I really did enjoy.

Was talking with the pharmacist daughter who just had the fender bender, and she's also ready to move up closer to her sister in the Orlando area. Plenty of hospitals there where she can get a job at so will make it easier for me to convince mom to move sooner.
I'd be looking to buy something next week while I'm there if I had my way to be honest. But this will happen easier now that I know this info. Giving myself a couple of years to work at Enterprise and then calling it quits on a much deserved second retirement!!!

IMHO there should be a standard and all leases should be advertised “plus tax”’only there is no way to be fair otherwise.

I do have the task of deciding where the ligament comes from. I am definitely not going with one from a cadaver. I have 3 choices from my own body, one of which is not up to the task, so don’t know how that is even an option. That leaves me with either pulling one from the front of my knee or from the quad. I’m leaning toward the latter because it is the strongest, but more research is in order. How the heck I don’t have a synthetic option is also beyond me.

I thought I read that most new ligaments were synthetic these days, Gore-Tex or some such thing. But I wouldn't hesitate about one from a cadaver. Why put yourself through more surgery pain and rehab than you need to?

Unfortunately you KNOW why. This way he gets paid for an office visit by the insurance company.
I'll ask my wife, the Physical Therapist what she thinks. Do you feel comfortable with this Doctor? I only ask because my Dad tore his quad tendon last year. He went to the hospital at 1st, then made a follow up appointment with the Doctor he saw in the ER. I happen to know an Orthopedic Surgeon from hockey (our sons played together), told him what happened and he saw my Dad in his office the next day. He took one look at my Dads's knee. My Dad said: "I know, you need to get an MRI done." Doc said: "Nope. I can tell by looking that your tore your Quad Tendon."
Some of these hospitals that specialize in knee injuries do incredible things, like HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery). I'm sure there might be something like that in your area or in Philadelphia. Just a thought. Either way, I wish you a speedy & full recovery.

This is a pretty large ortho practice so I think it is a good place. I do really like the doc. About the nicest physician I have ever met.
As for the cadaver, my issue is that I don’t know who it is coming from. Not to sound like a jerk, but I’m a big, strong guy. Unless I get to walk in and pick out the body, I don’t trust that I would get one that would be suitable for me.

And studies do indicate that WHERE it comes from changes the chances of reinjury. Using bone-to-bone grafts have a higher success rate than bone-to-muscle. There are, in fact, differences in tissue quality.
Do I think pulling from one part of your knee to fix another part is a good idea? No. But, at this moment, it sounds like the better option to me. I could risk the cadaver and figure "well, if it fails, then I'll go the other route next time." But do I really want to have to go through this again?

I know very little about the topic, but I can certainly understand your reasoning and could certainly see myself going the route you are leaning toward.

I had this crazy idea last Friday that I would play basketball with a group of >40 guys (many in their 60s), even though I had not played an organized game in probably fifteen years or more. Even though my mind remembered playing, my body was not impressed with my new attempt.
I lasted about twenty minutes, and was starting to get the hang of it a bit, when something popped in the back of my knee. Not sure what happened, but I do know that those twenty minutes of torture probably weren't worth the last week of pain!
I will give pickleball a go tonight and see how the knee behaves, but I'm not sure whether I will brave the basketball court again.
"Several studies have shown the preference for use of patellar tendon autograft among team physicians. In a study published in Arthroscopy, Brandon J. Erickson, MD, Cole and their colleagues found 136 (99.3%) National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I football team orthopedic surgeons chose autografts, of which 86.1% chose BPTB autografts to treat ACL tears in their starting running back.
Nathan A. Mall, MD, Cole and their colleagues also found 26 (87%) National Basketball Association (NBA) team physicians chose autograft for primary ACL reconstruction, with 81% using BPTB autografts, 12% quadruple hamstring autografts, 4% double hamstring autograft with or without allograft augmentation and 4% quadriceps tendon autograft with bone block."

There is certainly no right or wrong answer. The "choice for athletes" makes me think that would be the way to go, but the article you linked gives me concern regarding OA. Sigh.
