Appy,
You will be so very happy you have it done! Just remember to rest, ice, elevate, take your medication regularly exercise evenly and pace yourself during your recovery. You will recover fine. I am back to life as it used to be. I went and got my H1N1 shot on Monday. They can only give the nasal mist to those under 50. The intake person said to me, "You aren't over 50 are you? I laughed and told her she made my day as I turned 60 in September! She told me I did not look it and obviously exercise. I told her I had both knees replaced and she was shocked!
You will be anxious, nervous, and even scared, but afterward by the time you reach 6 weeks you will feel much better. By the time you reach 12 weeks even more towards normal, and by 16 weeks you will feel fabulous.
It is a tough surgery, but very rewarding. I was glad I did both at once!
I wish you the very best with your surgery and recovery.
