With contemplating knee # 2, it gives me pause the loss of activities you were used to. I too was very active, home renovations, getting up on ladders, gardening, bicycling...

It was just that heavy, painful swollen knee thing every night... Don't know if I can do the other knee.

I just did #2 6 yrs. after the first. I tried to avoid it, but finally had to do it. I forgot how painful it is. On week 5 and still can barely sleep till I’m exhausted. The pain is wearing me down and of course I’m even older now so it will probably take longer to recover. If they’d give me more oxy or morphine I’d grab it! Anything to ease this pain! Hopefully I’ll live long enough to reap the benefits, lol.
