    Implant bond strength

    For an implant that is cemented does bond get any stronger after a certain amount of time or is it as strong as it gets right after surgery. Obviously no one wants to fall but does bond get any stronger by waiting.

    Second thoughts

    I am not having second thoughts about the surgery. I am so ready for this. I am having second thoughts about not doing both knees. My left knee has felt really good for the last couple years so I figured I would leave well enough alone but since I stopped taking all my meds last week it is...
