The improvement will be beyond your wildest expectations. You got this. You are getting your life back, you will be able to do things you WANT to do, not just suffer through the things you HAVE to do.

I can't wait to be able to walk and hopefully get some real exercise again without hurting so much.

You'll be great!!!!! I have quite a few family members (related to me or DW) that have bionic knees. Everyone quite happy with the result.

@Bruce, good luck to your step sister... They told me that if I hit the threshold of "obese" that they would not do the surgery...

Thanks. I was a bit surprised as well, I don't know what she weighs but I know she is WAY past the "obese" BMI range. All that weight has to make it hard on the new joint.

* a whole year older than me, the younger of the older stepsisters is only a month older than me. And yes they are biological sisters. I guess my step mother found out that nursing a baby isn't a form of birth control

What used to be called "Irish twins". My maternal uncles were only 10-11 months apart. Then my mother came along 8 years later. Obviously my grandmother figured out what caused it! 4th child came along when the eldest boy was about 15. Maybe that is taking it to the extreme!

All that weight has to make it hard on the new joint.

And is a huge part of why it was even needed to be replaced...sadly.

Friday already. Jan must not have access to her laptop.

I hope your knees are healing, recovery is going well, and you are not in too much pain.

I talked to her yesterday. She has pain, of course. But it should be better in a few more days. They keep the door closed and bring food to her-and all the residents. That is the covid protocol for nursing homes-isolation to keep covid from spreading. That probably does more damage to people than the covid itself. I pity the people stuck in such circumstances. Fortunately for her, it won't be for very long.
