Hi shortstuf, sorry to hear about your knee replacement, but the main thing now to do is the PT, I had both of mine done and that is what helped the most, just keep doing the theropy, if your knee freezes up then you wiil have to go back into the hospital and have it broken loose and thats no fun beleive me I had to have my shoulder done that way and boy you don't want to have to do that. I am sure that you will be up and round before to long, I will keep you in my prayers and big hugs to you . take care and let us know how things go with you.

Had both of mine replaced three years ago - I wish it would have been sooner. It can be daunting, but you will never regret it. Keep working on your PT - it is REALLY important. Before long you will be flying.

I'll keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. My reconstructive surgery on my left knee was Nov 3. I'm now in PT and feeling pretty good although I can't put any weight on it for 4 more weeks. we'll just keep plugging away :D

I may be needing both knees replaced before very long.
