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.

    • lol wut?  Stats dont matter now?  Got it
    • So.... you're admitting he's never going to be the type of QB who can drag his team to victories on a consistent basis? Because in today's NFL, the teams that are constant contenders have QB's who can put up those kind of games will their team to wins when needed. If Bryce was anything near as amazing last year as the Bryce defenders try to insinuate he was, we'd either have won more games or his stats would have been better, if not both. Yes, he showed significant improvement over the last 2 months of the season.  Yes, he had a few clutch  moments/throws/drives in that span too. BUT... It's also very much a true statement that on the whole, he was still AT BEST an average QB during that time period.   And for a QB who was touted as being a PG who can get wins without elite talent around him because of how he sees the game, that's just not good enough, sorry. And none of that is to say he can't do that this year, especially after we gave him a weapon like T-Mac and hopefully an improved XL and Coker.  But stop trying to say he was this amazing QB to end the year who has proven he can (and should) be considered a long term solution as a franchise QB, as it's just not true.
    • In what way is that remotely the same thing as I'm saying here? First things first, comparing QB's to any other position is just asinine to begin with.   Second, you're trying to imply the exact opposite of what I'm saying here, so it just doesn't make sense. I'm saying if you remove the players that teams haven't committed to as their long term QB solutions yet, Bryce is the last player ranked in this set of rankings, that's all.  But sure, go ahead and try to make some weird convoluted equivalent for my love of T-Mac (who btw, you'd probably only need to take away 12-15 WRs for me to rank T-Mac #1 in a dynasty format, just sayin, lol)
