My Father's Knee

second hand experience (FiL) says get'em both done. they both have the same mileage and the change in the gait will transfer the new load to places unacustomed to the change. In his case, his hip is now in serious trouble

I've had two people tell me they wish they had them both done at once, because once they recover....they're never going through that again.

True story:
Hi Pop, how's the knee.
OK.
Um,....well, it's only been three days, does it hurt?
Nope.
Hmmm, good medications... must be sore?
Not bad.
That's amazing, Pop. I should think it would be annoying.
I've been married for almost 50 years.
