I probably shouldn't show this to a friend's wife since she is going in for knee replacement surgery next week

Had mine done 2 years ago, the hardest is 48 hours post surgery after that it's plain sailing.

Every single person I know who had this done said "I should have done it 10 years sooner!".

[batchit]

Exactly, I wish I could have had it done 30 years ago.

Had right knee replaced June2nd, going for left Aug 9th. The key is attitude and physical therapy.

Please don't. Curiosity got the best of me a week before my hip replacement & I watched a video of an actual procedure. Terrible idea.

She had her surgery according to the DRs everything went well except for her clinically diagnosed hypochondria. She was told to be up on her feet a maximum of 2 days after the procedure. but in her mind, there was something wrong with the new knee she wouldn't even attempt to put any of her 250+ pounds on it for over a week,
IT HURTS IT HURTS could be heard through the halls by the time they finally convinced her she had to flex the knee and put weight on it she actually did have problems. just got out of nursing home rehab last week. still walks with a stroller walker. Bob said she will milk it for all its worth for as long as she can.
