    Second TKR scheduled for April 3

    Thanks for your support. I opted for 4 months between procedures at the 30 day post op OS visit. I was progressing well with no pain and was optimistic about a second TKA. At this point (2 1/2 months) I'm glad I made the decision. I should be able to enjoy my summer with a lot less pain.

    I agree. I'm cutting down on the rowing and will do some light biking. 4 days off now from anything but stretching and my knee really appreciates it.
