Nice. Dad had one done. Real recovery is longer than a hip they say. His was.
Dont sit around... do the therapy and get that sucker going.
You'll be glad you did.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I may have to do that one day, too. Best to you, though I know you'll do fine.

Good luck with that new knee. I'm facing the same issue and not looking forward to the procedure and recovery.

Meds/rehab/ice is your new mantra, kidding aside I had both hips done the same day seven years ago now. If I had known how well it would have gone I'd have done it a year earlier. Follow the instructions your doctor and PT give you to the letter, do no more/no less of the prescribed exercises and you will be surprised how quickly you'll recover. The doctor will tell you that you will be as good as you're going to be at one year, in my case I continued to improve well into the second year. I hope that your knee recovers as well as my hips did. Good luck. BTW they really stapled your knee well, you've got what looks like 2x the number of staples as I had in my hips.

They did a spinal with a nerve block. I remember hearing the pounding when they put in the new parts. At least I didn't feel it...

Whoa......as others have said, get active as quick as you can, PT is they key. I'm waiting until I'm at least 60 to get both of mine done....you must be lot's older than me.
Good luck, I bet you'll be glad you did it.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
