(710 posts)My sister just had hers done yesterday and is staying with me till shes ready to go home and be independent again. Shes already walking around the house with a cane. She came out better with both her knees than I did with mine. Im 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.

(7,347 posts)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!
