I have had a couple of friends get their done recently and every one of them have been really happy that they did it. Knees are doing great and though rough, recovery has gone well. One friend had hers done in Feb and is doing the other one in August.
I am currently in therapy for some knee surgery (not replacement) and I talk to people all the time who have just had it done and are there in therapy too. Almost everyone I have talked to is happy that they have taken the plunge!!!
