Great to hear from you ...

The first 72 hours may be tough, but you sound like a strong bull and will be fine.

Think of a happy place, take meds and chill.

Thanks for the update sir.

I've had both done and am pain free and can squat, kneel and climb like I used to. I just turned 67 and my knees feel like they did when I was 35.

I watched a lot total knee cases 20+ years ago but they never had any robots assisting! I want to see this in action, has me quite curious.

Glad you did well. I'm facing replacement down the road. So far injections have taken care of it.

I am 80 years old and had one on August 19 and another about a year before that. The first was a breeze, walked without a walker or cane after 3 days. Up and down stairs after 10 days. The last one was about a week behind the first in recovery time and I still have a fair amount of swelling on that leg. No after surgery pain with either one. I did PT for a month before each one and followed PT religiously after surgery on both of them. My only regret is not doing it sooner!

A bit o' levity, for when the pain meds are fully kicked in....

The Breg Polar cuff is the bomb. Wife used it for her knee replacement and loved it.

How’s it feeling now? Doing ok?

A bit better, thanks, but still hurts way beyond expectations. Saw the ortho yesterday; he's happy with my progress (or lack of it), and is pushing me off to the PT Nazis next week.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Off to PT on my second knee replacement in a few minutes. If you need anything get in touch.
Praying for a quick recovery for you.
