Thank you...I do know the Lord will continue healing me and that it will never like my knee I was born with because that was perfect when first given me. My knee actually felt great before (cortisone shots) however it needed replaced and there was significant arthritis. It would have happened so I opted to do it before it got bad, I am thankful for what I can do. I'm going to Universal in December (15 months out) and need to be able to walk 18-20.000 steps each day. This is an average from last time we were there. I'm told how great I'm doing and all I am able to do but I do pay for it sometimes. I don't expect it to be like before however I'm so over all the soreness and stiffness. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. I'll keep you in mine as well.

I’d say you are doing extremely well and perhaps need to consider adjusting your expectations. Maybe being open to using a cane or even a Walker while at Universal would make things a bit more pleasant and put less stress on your knee. Just because that’s what you did last time doesn’t mean you have to this time. Both aging and an intense surgery may prevent that. It doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy it but at a lesser pace. Good luck & have fun.
