"Organic superlubricant is slippery stuff."

[unixronin]

OK, so it's not quite organic superlubricant.  But after visiting the orthopedist this morning (details of the reasons here, as well as in a couple of other recent posts also behind my medical filter), I now have bio-engineered high-viscosity synthetic lubricant in my right knee.  (If it goes well, we'll probably do the left too.)

Is that cool, in a sort of cyberpunk way, or what?

You have knee problems too?

I'm missing about 2/3rds of the cartilage out of my right knee from a mountain biking accident. (87 degrees of rotation on the X axis.)

Ow. I don't know how much it would help with that. But it probably couldn't hurt.

Do you want me to add you to my medical filter? I posted more details there. The specific stuff in question is called Euflexxa, from Ferring Pharmaceuticals.

...I thought I was already on it. But yeah, sure.

Logjam's friend groups list says not. But, you are now.
