of luck. You have been through it before so know the drill.The 1st 3-4 days are torture and gets better from there. I don’t know your age. Just under 2 years ago at 73 I had my right knee replaced. Walking without a cane or walker at 8 days. At 10 days I drove to 3 light shopping stops and left any walking aid behind.

At exactly 5 weeks I rode 10 miles on my bicycle and by week 8 was riding 35 miles. In the almost 2 years since the replacement I’ve ridden over 5000 miles. I had my hip replaced 13 years ago.

As I said you know the drill. So hopefully my story might be helpful for someone who has a replacement down the pike.

Again best of luck.

Good luck! Luciferous Feb 2023 #1
