Good morning & Happy Thanksgiving
Wish I had something encouraging to say now I know your age.
But providing you are in pretty good health, this is what I can offer.
Without a knee replacement, it will eventually get where you can't walk without a walker or assistance.
That alone put the fear of God into me. So I went forward with my surgery.
I understand it is a very personal & very individual decision.
Wishing you luck with your situation. Take care, Helen
