I've had a hard time reading about people's experience getting this surgery yet continuing to do jiu jitsu or judo. I'm so encouraged to hear you've had the surgery and are still able to do judo. I take it leg locks will be a no no for me as well as butterfly guard after the replacements are done? I know they don't want twisty motions or heavy weight put on the knees so the parts don't separate. Would love to hear more if you do any blogs about rolling with knee problems, surgeries, replacements. I train at Gracie Academy Torrance and they seem to be more sensitive to people with surgeries etc. Thanks for the advice! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-54104001369669870102013-06-27T06:22:56.457-07:002013-06-27T06:22:56.457-07:00I have always been one to love fortune, but shun f...I have always been one to love fortune, but shun fame for this reason. I would get into a lot of trouble for being controversial because when you're a celebrity, you're not allowed to say anything that could be offensive because.... well, I'm not really sure why. I guess it was to nip the "problem" of another Jim Morrison and similar personalities from breaking down barriers? I would get fired from the UFC the day I got hired due to the things I tend to say that are interesting and thought provoking, yet "unprofessional." Where is there a correlation between the ability to do a quality job with honesty, integrity, and an unyielding commitment to excellence and having the same beliefs as the status quo? Still haven't found the answer to that. I've always thought that mavericks of society would make for better employees because being accustomed to being outside of the status quo makes them more predisposed to going above and beyond the average. <br /><br />Also, why do the wrong people get blamed? For example, when Ronda posted that "Sandy Hook Conspiracy" video, why was she blamed and not the people who produced the video?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-14080362763001013982013-06-25T23:24:07.355-07:002013-06-25T23:24:07.355-07:00Oh absolutely!

Three pieces of advice though: 1.Take as much time off as they tell you. <br />2. Do the physical therapy RELIGIOUSLY. Don't try to do more and aggravate the joint and don't do less. It really helps. <br />3. Realize that it will continue to get better for a long time after the surgery, literally for months, if you regularly exercise as your doctor and therapist recommend you will continue to improve.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-90963398959934670062013-06-25T20:37:55.582-07:002013-06-25T20:37:55.582-07:00Dear Dr. Ann Maria: I'm a middle aged female ...Dear Dr. Ann Maria: I'm a middle aged female with a blue belt in jiu jitsu and just got word that I'm going to need a partial knee replacement. Do you think it will still be possible for me to roll?

...Just kidding. :D...What did Ronda say this time?<br /><br />...Just kidding. :D <br /><br />There is a reason why I don't bother reading gossip mags. (or at least try to avoid it - it's all over the net these days).<br /><br />Most stuff is reported out of context (when not outright twisted), to create controversy, and when you have a lot of footage and audio, it's easy to pick and chose.
