You raise interesting question. The TKR stole some but not all of my activities from me. Although I can no longer surf run walk hike I still am able to bike 35 miles every other day And swim laps and in ocean, I live in San Diego. My fear with revision is these remaining activities may be stolen from me. Consequently i grin and bear it, whining a lot but recognizing I am so much better than many I talk to or see on this site.
I could go deeper into this but I gotta go bike….

I understand your reluctance. Only you can make that decision based on who you know yourself to be and what you value most. That's the thing about making any decision. Deeply personal and informed by what we may give up or possibly lose. If you haven't already, read The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Good luck to you.

See the exchange with @sailnsun in the post called:
3rd knee replacement in a year and a half on same knee

Maybe Jimmy Chow is the answer for you.
