Default Knee surgery Update

First of all I would like to thank all of my Corvette Forum Friends(I don't consider anyone a customer) for their many emails and phone calls checking in on my progress of my knee replacement surgery. It will be 8 weeks tomorrow and according to my surgeon at my checkup I am about 2 weeks ahead of where I should be. It still hurts especially at night but I will get thru it and be stronger for it. I had a great physical therapist who pushed me hard but did not overdo it. I am back at work usually 5-6 hours but also check my dealership emails at home in the evenings. Remember I am having a $250 off sale for December, that saves you more money than at any time in the year. Also remember if you get a lesser price quoted, let me try and match it, I can't promise that I can but I will take a look and if I can't then you made a really great deal on a warranty.


My email is dfichtner@dennymenholt.com and when you send a quote request please remember to include your VIN, exact miles and if you bought the car used the date you bought it.


Again thank you for all the kind wishes and prayers during my time off with surgery.

You will be back to normal in no time. I had ACL surgery last Feb (16) and it was no fun for sure. I’m as good as new. Just keep up with the rehab. Oh and thanks for the great deal on the warranty!!

I feel your pain brotha. I too had a total knee replacement and the rehab pretty much sucks. Drive an A8 instead of a manual because of it, but the A8 is really great tranny so no dissapointments.

Good luck with the rehab.
