Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I can understand your anxiety, never mind the statistics, it's your body! But I've seen from the comments quite a number of cuties had the same operation(s) and are doing well, that must be some consolation. Get well and running soon!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know exactly how you are feeling - I am due to have a knee replacement at the end of the year. I managed to put it off for the summer although it's painful to walk. Everyone I have spoken to has been pleased that they had the operation so just keep that in mind and I will keep you in my prayers. Love, Jo

Oh, Judy, God bless you mightily! I hope you get through the surgery and physical therapy in good shape. My girlfriend had this surgery in January one year, and in April we were walking all over the beaches & markets of Nassau, which she could not have done before. But she was very diligent about the therapy, so make sure you do that. Love, Marji

Judy, Judy, Judy, Cary here just to tell you to keep a stiff upper lip and do as the Doctor tells you, There's a Good Girl!

And from Meg, just make sure you do the exercises and don't whimp out on them or you'll pay the price later. And I'll be praying for you to have a speedy recovery, which you will, if you do your exercises.
hugs n roses, Meganne

GOOD LUCK with the operation, I had a full knee replacement 2 years ago, I put if off for quite a while but it has proved the wrong thing. If it is left too long as it sometimes affects the hip and that is what has happened to me. I now have to have a hip replacement very soon. Make sure you do all the exercises regardless of the pain because it will help you get back on track much sooner.It will certainly be worth it in a few months time, no pain etc.
I will be thinking of you

Prayers are with you! You will do great AND be so surprised at the pain relief! I have both knees & hips replaced (am 65) and face a "reverse total shoulder" soon. Hit that pain button, don't be afraid to do so! Take a pill about 30 mins. before PT and work hard at PT! You'll do great. People are surprised when I tell them I've had all the replacements. Only thing that gives me away is all the alarms going off when I go thru security at the airport! If they don't put you on a "constant motion" machine, ask for it!! They are wonderful, relax you, bend the knee for you, and help a LOT!! Should be on it by the second day, probably. Hang in there!

I'm sure you'll do fine but will keep you in my prayers. MIL has had both knees replaced and is fit as a fiddle. Just make sure you do your physical therapy. It's the key to your optimum outcome. You'll be playing hopscotch in no time.

Judy, A friend of mine had had one knee done and will get the other done this year. She says is much happyer with the new knee than the old painfull one. She is actually looking forward to the next new knee. The only thing is the physio therapy you need to do after. Very important and hard work. Her therapist said if she had not worked at it so hard she would not have recouvered so well. Take care, it will go well.

Best of luck with your surgery. I have had both hips and both knees replaced within the last 7 years and I am doing great. I had a hip problem that was from birth but never caused me any problems until I turned 50. Lots of prayers and hugs to you. I am new to cutie and just getting started.
