@suziet, I think you yourself, along with advice from your surgeon and physical therapist will be the best judges of when you are ready. Having gone through your first TKR just recently, you already have an idea of how much support from the "good" leg is needed to get through recovery and rehab. Do you feel like your first TKR knee is ready to take on the role of primary support now? If you are a fast healer and have good strength and range of motion and feel like you are mentally ready to do it all over again, I'd be tempted to get the 2nd one over with too, if my medical support team agreed it was a wise choice.

That all sounds good. I will get the recommendation of the surgical team I used. Thank you. And yes I'm doing great I have been at 120 with my knee since 5 weeks post op. I have been tough on myself with home exercise and have had an excellent PT. I do feel my new TKR is ready to take on the leading role for my next TKR rehab. Its been rough but I think I'm ready mentally, 9 weeks ago I would of never said this, haha. But I believe I'm in a good place now. Thank you again.
