My wife is having Knee Replacement surgery this morning at 10:00 am.  Please say a prayer.  I am really more worried about the recovery.  The amount of movement and PT required is a lot.  I'm worried she will not push though it all.  The exercise and PT is key to success and full range of motion.

Wishing her a speedy recovery, let us know how it turns out.

I had both of my knees done 2 weeks apart. 

You are right a motivated patient during recovery following the exercises and walking right away wil substantially reduce recovery time.

In the end she will look back and say why did I wait so long?  The quality of her life is going to greatly improve. 

Very best wishes for a rapid recovery!

Merry Christmas

I wish your wife a speedy recovery and all the best for the medical restoration of her physical and/or mental abilities.

Merry Christmas to you both!

          Dave, you're correct about the recovery. The patient has a lot to do with the overall success. Prayers sent.

Dave, it is scary from all the horror stories you hear.  I had bilateral total knee replacement done three months apart a few years back.  Yes the first few days are not fun and the first couple weeks of PT aren't either.  But I predict that you and she will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly she improves.  Of course as said the key is to do the PT.  Once healed she'll wonder why she ever put it off.  All the best.
