I can kneel on both my knees - one almost 6 years old and the other almost 3 years old, but I still don't like the way it feels. I don't think that will ever go away.
However, I'm very glad that I can kneel, if I have to - and get up again.
Last year, when my husband was away, the water filter in the kitchen sprung a leak about one in the morning. I had to go out by torchlight onto our long driveway and lie down on the asphalt, putting my hand down a deep hole, to reach the valve that turns off the water main.
As it was, my kitchen was flooded, but if I hadn't been able to turn off the water main my whole house would have been flooded.
I practiced kneeling by starting first on the bed, then graduated to kneeling on a cushion or pillow on the floor, then finally onto the carpet.
I can kneel on a hard surface, but it feels very uncomfortable and I try not to do it.
Some people never can kneel and some surgeons prefer it if you don't, so it pays to ask your surgeon.

The only exercise was 6 minutes on my new bike, I didn't push it any further because I have PT tomorrow, though I could have, because the more I pedaled, the looser the knee felt. Pedal Power!
Glad to hear that you had a nice day and that you were sensible with your activity levels! Spence could use a few lessons!
We did take DH's convertible to church and out for lunch today but it was WARM! He likes the top down all the time summer or winter as long as it's not raining....So do tell what book kept your interest for hours?? That temp sounds divine!
So no alone for you!
I agree that it is best to get shown how to do it however for me it was easy enough to get down on one knee and roll over onto my bum and then do the same thing to get back up again of course with the help of something sturdy nearby that I can pull myself up with until Spence had a little more strength to stand up on his own.
