Thank you for answering those questions. It does help knowing what to expect. I'm very fortunate to have my aunt that lives with me. She helped me through both of my knee replacements. I wouldn't have been able to get through it all without her. It does help knowing she is here and I can depend on her. I tried to have everything done before each of my surgeries so when I came home all she had to help with was me. I understand about the pool. I hate not being able to go but I understand. I always just walk in waist high water so I will make sure I am cleared to do that by the doctor first like you said. I'm trying to think if I have any other questions but I can't think of any right now off the top of my head. Is it ok if I write to you again if I think of something? Thank you again for explaining things for me it has helped more than you will ever know.❤
