If only I could remember life in the 60s. I am 80 but I do look forward to my replacement later this week!

I am 85 and just had surgery on both knees on July 1st. I am now 3 months out and am doing really well. I have full flexion of 120 now in both legs and I am walking without a cane. I am still in PT and will be for 3 more weeks. There are still days that the numbness and stiffness shows their ugly head but it seems to part of the process for up to a year. Do I get tired of doing PT exercises? Yes! But it's necessary for my long term recovery. The first 2 weeks are the hardest, but keep a good attitude and take one thing at a time and you will come through this successfully. Good luck!
