30. Are you getting full joint replacement or joint resurfacing?

Either way, I hope it all goes well with no complications. The only complaint I've heard from anyone whose been through it with a competent surgeon is from a 70+ year old farmer who complained he can no longer kneel to work on his tractors. Heck, I haven't been able to kneel for four years with my knees!

What are they giving you for a schedule for hospital stay and rehab time?

Sending good vibes and will be for the next month so you can build up a HUGE store of good energy!
