@racersailor Thank you that is all good advice and I will not forget. But I am still lifting 50 lb bags of cubes at 75 and driving tpost. That is one of the reason I wanted the surgeon to go ahead and repair. I' m still healthy ad strong. I do live by myself so I am very independent. Knee and hip replacement were actually a snap I am printing all advice to carry with me

@scottbliz I also live alone. I rounded up a collection of dear friends who were willing to stay with me for the week to two weeks that my surgeon and staff wanted. Were I not able to have done that I might have ended up in a rehab facility for a bit. I was not allowed to drive for six weeks both times. Probably a really good idea seeing as I had a standard transmission car at that point! Keep in mind the restrictions are for your benefit, even if they chafe when you’re used to doing for you!
