Positive vibes your way. I had a hip done loooong time ago when I was still a pup and it I thought THAT rehab was rough. I've always heard that knee rehab is harder and longer. At least you know what to expect. My hip is still goin' strong and you'd never know unless you saw the scar.

Good luck! Third time will be the best.
