Hi Bill, Good to hear from you, back on the forum.. as a knee replacement guy myself, I can only say that unless you've had it done, you can't possibly understand how debilitating it is, and what Bill is going thru,when compared to other surguries... You literally have to learn to walk all over again.. you spend 1 month just trying to raise your foot.. the next three are spent trying to get the knee past 110 degrees of bend.... and most important, you need a hard core therapist to push you past your pain limits, as there are some, "no compromise" goals that have to be met... And for Bill, you can double all of the above!!
I'm pulling for you Bill, hit that therapy super hard... It's been almost two years for me, and my replaced knee is good as gold, way better then my so called good knee.. I used to pull my self around the therapy room by me heels on an office chair for therapy... I'd go up to new knee replacement patients and tell them, "You can have sobbing and weeping uncontrollably, but I'm in charge of screaming around here!"
A fast recovery, and, the Best to you Bill, til...lat'r....GT
