Yes and no. I'm starting to get nervous. Probably because I work in the health care field and know what all can go wrong.

I hope it goes well. The exercises before and after are really important.

Yes I know. I couldn't walk 4 months ago without limping and my primary saw and cornered me in the hallway at work and gave me hell for not getting it done that the longer I wait the worse the recovery. She then sent a script to PT. I went and got a cortisone shot which helped immensely and then I was able to do PT. She was passing through PT last week when I grabbed her by the hands and made her dance with me. She was so shocked at my progress and commented that maybe I don't need a replacement now. I wish I didn't but I really do since my knee is valgus and bone on bone.

I'm sure you won't regret it! They're right about losing mobility without a replacement.
