@anncgrl
I'm happy for your successful outcome but your recommendations go on deaf ears. You are fortunate, but there are many TKR recipients, like myself, who followed all the advice and recommendations, only to have an unsuccessful TKR. Sometimes during the weeks of painful PT it's recognized that all the PT in the world is not going to overcome a bad surgery.

I break up the credit for my very successful replacement as:
5% for my work finding the best surgeon
90% for the surgeon
5% for good fortune
The last can be a tough one. No matter how good the surgeon is, and how careful the recipient is, there is still an element of uncertainty that cannot currently be completely controlled.
