Bill, I'm happy to hear you're find and dandy. A double knee replacement at your advanced age is no picinic. Just take it easy and steady and dont expect them to be as good as when you were a kid, 'cuz it jut ain't gunna ahppen, LOL!
I'm an orthotist and I can tell you that the therapy is your best bet. Trust in what she has to tell you and don't think that she doesn't understand the pain and how hard it is. She does. But she also knows that she has to pretend like it's not that bad so that you will at least try your best. It's a bitch, but it's the only way... :-)

My wife had both hers replaced. The therapy is the key to walking better with full flexibility. It hurt me to watch and help her through the painful therapy but, she's as good as new now. Hell, she has more titanium in her than all my guns.
keep at it Bill. You know the adage, "no pain, no gain". My best to you.
