Co-worker died after knee surgery

30 yrs old. He worked out and was an athlete. Blew out his knee playing basketball. Had knee surgery Thurs....died Mon. Knee was so bad.....was confined to bed rest. Threw a clot. A real tragedy. Who knew you could die from knee surgery??

Not sure if the post op advice was appropriate. ( I would never have surgery in this [small] town).

Maybe this will help someone out there ask some questions they had not thought of before if in a similar situation. I know I will be a smarter patient. But so terrible for this guy, his family and friends. He was a good person and a great person to work with.

Poor guy.

Not the best story to read right now for me. Mom is about to have her right knee replaced, nothing went wrong on her left knee or her hip, but anything can happen.

Reminds me of Chris Candido. Wrestler who broke his leg on a PPV (saw it live, gross as hell) then died of a blood clot within a couple days.

Wow.

Just had a friend get both knees operated on a few weeks of each other. I never realized how dangerous those procedures can be.

I heard this story and had deja vu...

was out "walking and talking" as they say, and came across a lady who had was telling me about a co-workers son who broke his leg and had a blood clot in his leg... he is now okay, but never a good sign..

shitty...for sure. all need to be a little thankful and appreciative of life...it can be snuffed so quickly

True for sure. It has been tough lately where I work. Three weeks ago, a wonderful 41 yr old woman found out she had a malignant brain tumor which is very aggressive. She has been given 12-14 mths to live. One of our training coordinators just had a double mastectomy with a poor prognosis. Another administrative person is having a double mastectomy next week. We lost a beloved department head in Nov. Another department head lost their partner 2 weeks ago. Life suddenly feels like a minefield.

I hope I am taking less for granted....and appreciating people more.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
