My wife is a keeper Login/Join

For Christmas this year my wife got me a remote start for my Sierra pickup that I purchased used this summer (2021).
Not only that, but she installed it. Took her about 45 minutes including the software download.
My knees are shot so I couldn't do it myself.
Love that woman!

Damn rtquig, "a keeper" is a bit of an understatement. One helluva nice gift.

I see my ortho on Monday. I have a replacement knee that went bad and the other knee also now needs replacement. Going to ask if they can do both at the same time and send me to a rehab instead of discharging me home.

I work in ortho and only in very limited circumstances ( like once every couple years ) do we perform surgery on both at the same time. When you say go bad do they just need to do a liner exchange or will it be a total overhaul? If just a liner, probably could do both. At least you have experience knowing what to expect, but both at the same time for 99+% of the population is a VERY bad idea.
Our criteria to do both is someone young with a very high base level of fitness. People like high performing athletes / gym junkies that are very strong upper body with low body fat we have done it, your average patient big no way

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated.
Last summer I had my right knee scoped. At the time the doctor recommended a replacement and I didn't want to do it yet.
The summer before I had the left knee replaced and it never felt right. In September while playing with my grandson, I tweeked it and it has been extremely painful ever since.
On Monday I'll get some answers and a game plan.
3 summers ago I had shoulder surgery.
I would like a summer without a surgery lol.

My wife was the yougest double knee replacement her doctor ever did not sure of the age between 40-45 and she was in terrible shape. Ended up screwing up her shoulder Frown. But her docs comment was you literally dont have a good leg to stand on !

When I was engaged, my wife had a remote start installed on the truck I drove as a birthday gift. That thing had 1/4 mile range and the best feature was a built in temp sensor. If you parked outside during the winter, which I did, the truck would turn on for 15 or 20 minutes when it hit a certain temperature to keep the oil from turning to molasses. Sounds like you picked a winner rtquig!

I had a Viper alarm with remote start on my 2005 GMC HD. I swear that sucker would work from a quarter mile away too.
On my current 2018 Sierra work provided vehicle and my 2025 Sierra HD personal vehicle they both came with remote starting and I can use either the key FOB or the MY GMC app on my phone to start them.
I always beep the horn several times first to get any critters that might be under the hood a wake up call to GTFO!
