Hi,

Conditioning before surgery seems to be critical. I was fortunate to have 20+ years of weight training before my hip replacement. I believe having that foundation has helped my recovery thus far.

My surgeon has 15+ years experience with joint replacements and uses current technology for all his patients.

Using my recovery time to recover my energy levels—at 70, I have less than I’d like. Also will be pursuing a real estate career to become financially independent— and will need energy for that, since I’m competing with folks who could be my grandchildren.

Bring it on!
Cheers,
Bill

You have the right attitude Bill. I'm right behind you at 68. Had both knees replaced last year and now I'm in the gym 6 or 7 days a week. Maybe I'll eventually get old, whatever that is, but I'm going down swinging!
