How should I prepare for my knee replacements?

Thank you for your reply. My daughter lives with me so fortunately, she would be able to help me. I am just so afraid of getting into a worse situation than I am in now. My pain is not unbearable but is pretty bad at times and I have a lot of muscle pain and tightness after sitting for a while. I guess I will give it a little more time and see how it goes with the injections, etc. The injections I had were 2 Hymovis injections, a week apart. Keeping up my PT exercises.

It’s a huge decision. My body is aching today as the weather is changing. You can still feel it in a new joint. My other knee jolts me bad at certain angles when it does that bone on bone thing. I wake my spouse up with my cussing at the knee in my sleep! But I’m going to wait as long as I can as I will need to build up my courage.
Mind you, I walk every day, over 10,000 steps, I eat well, normal weight, no health issues… it just was a hard surgery and I had great support and great physical therapy.
But I’ve seen +80 year olds do just great through it all.
Best wishes.
