Good for you on being "smart for surgery." Add what exercise you can, whether it's going to an arthritis exercise class at a pool, or walking each day, adding 10-15 steps a day. Maybe ask you doctor (now or in May) to set up some "pre-hab" PT, too.

Thanks for everyone support and words of encouragement. I'm at the gym today trying to get it together.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I had BTKR 23 days ago and things are going well. The benefit you have is your youth should help with the recovery and I hope it does. My tip/recommendation is to get an Aircast Cryo-Cuff for icing after your surgery. This is a simple device that will make it easier and more effective when you ice your knees post surgery. I have one and it is the best thing for helping to manage swelling and pain (well, short of the Oxi).
Good luck to you ...
