Default Knee Replacement

Going for surgery tomorrow (Monday) morning. Hopefully be able to post again in 2-3 days, with luck able to take phone calls in a week.

Had both of mine done this year. Not at the same time. Both are doing well, should have done it long ago. I was in and out of the hospital in half a day. Be sure to do the therapy afterwards.

I just had my right knee replaced December 3rd. Not much pain with the right drugs. Make sure to use a physical therapist. Do what they say 2/3 times a day.iused a walker a week, then to one crutch. Since the 27th walking almost normal. Climbing stairs is fine. Going down, bit harder. I drove for the first time today. Good luck.

I hope it all goes well for you.
I have that coming up before too long.
For what it's worth, most of my friends who have had it done say they are happy with their outcomes.
Take care.

All have likely heard the old saying... "you'll miss them when they're gone"

Well, that's not referring to your children... it's your knees.

Take care!

My brother and sister had both knees done, the key is the physical therapy afterwards. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
