I am more than glad that I didn't do both at the same time. At least I had the left one to push the right one out of the bed
To my surprise my left leg is doing better now than it has in years.
I am confident that my right leg is going to be a great improvement.
My biggest concern is that my new abilities will not live up to my expectations.
I did get the staples out today.

Again.. my replacement isn’t what the advertisement said it would be but it is better than before surgery..
Shoulders.. have a neighbor who had one done and then rushed back to have the other one done.. have a buddy who had one done and says that he will wear the second one in a sling for the rest of his life before he goes through that again..
Roll of the dice..

Congrats Dave. Take it slowly and rebuild the leg up. Walking even with a walker helps. I did a little into the pain hurting and then backed off that excerise.
When you see the Dr I would get on his schedule for the other one as I would expect he's booked up.

Good advice Fred, he is about 3 months out so my plan is to schedule the next one when I have a follow-up exam in about 3 weeks.
