Jan 2012

Most of the people I've talked to have been very happy once they heal up. The one person who is unhappy complains that he can no longer get down on his knees to work on his haying equipment. Mind you, he can still ride the tractor all day, still helps to load the hay on the trailers and move it into the barns. At the age of 65+

Sooner than later, I'll be joining you in this. Right now I'm doing physical therapy to see how much that will help. If I go for the surgery, I'm getting both knees done at the same time. It's the same amount of hospital time, rehab time, and physical therapy time whether it's one knee or two.

Good luck with it and keep us posted!
