My advice...look forward to the procedure. Sure recovery will be tough but think about the alternative option of doing nothing! Be disciplined with the PT!!!! I'm coming up on my two year TKR anniversary and have been back to playing COMPETITIVE singles and doubles tennis for some time with no pain and full movement.....last night 3 hours of quick burst actions front, back, side to side, twisting with a two hander, and full weight bearing; even though I'm only 140 lbs. The reality of "so I can go on long walks and possibly even hikes with my Husband again" can and will happen with your perseverance!!!

@jeffkirc, Thanks for the encouraging words. So glad to hear you’re back to doing the things you love. I’ve already decided I can’t/won’t do anything that requires running. Just too klutzy. 4 years ago I broke my left shoulder and Shattered my right shoulder learning PickleBall. The paramedics said they come almost every other week to the pickleball courts for broken wrists, torn Achilles, etc., I had the worst injury by far. My husband had to do EVERYTHING for me for weeks and weeks. He made me promise Not To Play again. So I’ve sworn off anything that requires running. Golf, walking, hiking, cooking, reading, playing cards, painting, etc. can keep me very busy and don’t require an acceleration in speed. HaHa.
