My sister just had hers done yesterday and is staying with me till she’s ready to go home and be independent again. She’s already walking around the house with a cane. She came out better with both her knees than I did with mine. I’m jealous! In the long run your quality of life will be much improved. Please keep us posted as you are able and let us know how your recovery is going. I hope it is speedy and with minimal pain.

I had it done about 6 months ago...it's well worth it. Just don't push too hard the first couple of weeks, and do your physical therapy!

I am able to walk multiple miles again, which I couldn't do before. Medical technology is amazing!

There's a lady in my neighborhood who has had both knees replaced in just under a year. She's well into her rehab on the second one and is walking around with a smile on her face. I hope you have a similar outcome.

It's a big change but a good one, from what others tell me!

Here's to a good day and fantastic results!
