@contentandwell Medicare does pay for some of the costs on a set recommended replacement schedule but this one was on me. Probably not the first nor the last time I've wasted money ☺ Reminds of the saying "when my ship comes in I'll probably be at the airport". I do take a lot of stuff to a local Savers Store that recycles -- sort of like a local Goodwill store. I'll have to check on donating used/new medical stuff. I also have 2 or 3 useless knee braces I bought.

I've always been an early bird. I hate sleeping in unless I'm really bushed. I don't find enough time in my schedule for exercise so I try to make time in the morning. In the evenings it just doesn't work and I'm sure it's a mental thing...just don't want to do it at night. So, I get up at 5, feed the kitties, do my elliptical for about 10 to 15 minutes and then do my leg stretches and range of motion exercises for my bad knee (also the good one). I'm hoping to get a TKR in March or April but have to meet with ortho in February to determine a date.
