I just got a call from my orthopedic surgeon. I'm getting my second total knee replacement on January 29! I will be so glad to have this done! I'm getting ready to start ramping up my time on the stationary bike and leg exercises. I'm reading through all of your posts here to review helpful ideas. Meantime, if anyone else has special tips or hints, I'm listening. Wish me well!

Most definitely wishing you well @debbraw! I will be anxiously waiting to hear your results. I'm supposed to have a consult appointment in February for a TKR in March or April. I'm still working on the leg and knee exercises and about 10 to 15 minutes a day on the elliptical. I know I need to increase the weight bearing time but may have to switch to the recumbent bike part of my elliptical machine as it's less painful on the knee.
