I had both of mine replaced together a bit over thirteen years ago at are 58. I had to talk hard with my surgeon to do both at the same time but he finally agreed providing I didn't complain about it later.

It went well for me as I had a secret weapon, the better half who was a retired Registered Nurse. She could be a relentless slave driver at times, who kept me doing my PT, whether I felt like it or not. She actually deserves most of the credit for such a quick and successful recovery. I have full range of motion in both legs and I was back to work in eight weeks.

As others have said the biggest secret is in your willingness to be diligent with your therapy. I would do the same thing in a heartbeat if faced with the problem again. The results are well worth the two months spent recovering from the surgery.
