Going to give the moderators a rest!

Going in for a knee replacement in the morning. This will give the moderators a needed rest for a day or so!

Good luck with it. I’ve had both replaced and the best advice I got was to do the rehab as aggressively as I could. You have a short window to get your bend back.

Good luck with the knee, May recoverby be swift and may you forget you had the job done (there is a joke here but if down the road you still have pain, You will remember the surgery).

I too am considering taking a break from the forums but it's a bandwidth issue with me, Not a medical one. Just so folks know.

Good luck Mr D, and hopes for a speedy recovery.
Our neighbor had both knees done, she said that doing what the rehab person said, as much as she disliked it, was great for recovery.
She's VERY glad she had the operations done.
I trust that you will be also.

Had both done in one day. Its tough, but in time you will get used your fake knee.

At times, you will miss your original one, before it went bad.

Good luck

Best wishes for a successful surgery & speedy recovery. Do what the "physical terrorists" (at least that's what I called them) tell you to do.

Well.....the best exercise for my carpal tunnel wrist surgery was washing the motor home. Maybe some deep knee bends with a buffing wheel and wax will help in recovery.

Good luck with the surgery!
