I'm sure all will go well. I've known several people who've had both knees replaced, and all were better than new after rehabilitation.

No electronics??? Surgery by candle light?? Where is this Amish hospital

But seriously, good luck with it !

Thats what I was thinking. My mother in law had a hip replaced and had her phone and laptop nearby at all times.

Hospital discourages electronics devices as they hire untrustworthy help--or that seems to be the message. I should be in the hospital only a few days. I need to show that I can climb stairs, get into the passenger seat of a car ( actually have a section of a car in the PT room), get on and off the toilet, and into and out of the bathtub.
You are correct in that PT is the key--at least as far as what i can control. adhesions and internal bleeding are things that may have to be dealt with, but nothing I can control.

Best of luck. Fairly common operation these days for many. I have a knee I try not to stress too much as it kicks up. Trying to keep it till the end.

Result of many bangs to it over the years. Cannot lift and carry 40 pounds though without it announcing it is unhappy for a day or so after words. So far generally the same for the last fifteen years.

Speedy recovery and a little break from electronics will do the soul good.

I'm just coming to this thread; glad to see you're back with civilization.

I hope all went by the textbook on the surgeries and that your recovery is as complete and pain-free as possible. (I've got at least one I'm going to have to deal with -- assuming I live long enough. I messed it up when I was 17, but the damage played a key role in saving my life, so the periodic pain and limitations are reminders that I shouldn't be here at all.)

Anyway, I digress: the point is that I hope you are soon back to doing your regular activities, but enjoying them more with less pain and restriction, and picking up some old ones you didn't do any longer because of the limitations.

Best of luck in 2015!

That's no good, your balance will be off and you'll be going in circles!
