I have tried the gel shot, cortisone shot and this is my next step, I am ready to get it fixed so I can do the things I cannot do now!
Who else has had a knee replacement? What was your recovery timeframe?
My husband had a motorcycle accident December 19, 2015, a deer hit him or he hit the deer. He broke his neck. We came home on January 4 and back in ER and sending him to heart hospital. He had five bypass surgery, then to rehab for a week and home on January 30th. He is doing awesome!
Now I come up with this knee replacement surgery, what a journey we have been on. Thankful that God was right there with us and he is alive!

Sorry to hear about your husband's health problems, but glad that he is coming through it.
I haven't had a knee replaced but have had a hip done. This sort of operation is done so often nowadays that it's almost routine.
I was walking the with canes the day after the op, and completely recovered after a few weeks.

@Margielynn I'm 10 years older than you, so it's nothing to worry about.

Thanks, this dr did my mom's knee replacement and she did very well, she had to go to nursing home for awhile she was 84. I go in on Monday and if everything goes well get out Thursday. I will have Home Health helping me.
