Plus, I work 32 hrs per week alot of it on concrete floor standing all day. I am just scared how this is going to affect my finances. Has anyone else had this surgery? Your input would be most welcome.
Hi - My DH had a knee done like you describe, and he was back moving pretty well in just a very few weeks. And his knee did very well healing over time. A woman I work with had both knees replaced (at different times) and another one had both replaced at the same time. Knees are common....I can understand how you feel, but the outcome will be worth the procedure. We will pray for you!
