Knee Being Replaced Tomorrow

[JimmyDee]

Well I had my right knee replaced 6 weeks ago and it went so well I'm having the left one done tomorrow. If this one goes as well as the first one, I'll be back to an active life style in a short time. This is not a cake walk but in 2 weeks or so, there is less pain than before the surgery. Isn't modern medicine wonderful?
Probably will post results next Sunday or Monday if all goes well.

So what are you replacing your knees with? Elbows? Wrists? Maybe a nice set of perky breasts?

Definitely Good Luck Jimmy! Is the knee replacement surgeries due to occupational wear out/injuries?

Keep us posted on the progress

Jimmy, You will be in my prayers. When I had my rotator cuff surgery, the doctor told me that the ideal is to be put back as if it had never happened, but it would be considered a success if you hurt less after the surgery than before.

The key to all of this is to make sure to get the physical therapy. It hurts like heck sometimes, but without it you can never fully recover.

With the latest Titanium and plastic resurfacing equipment. I guess these cause an automatic pull over when trying to get through the line to board an airplane.

I've done about 4 weeks of it on the first and it is doable. You are 100% correct though, I've heard some bad outcomes from the ones that don't do what they are told to do.
Don't make since to me to go through the surgery and then not bite the bullet for a few weeks to assure a good outcome.
