Yes 3 months, some days it feels longer but yes I am doing GOOD… I still have swelling more behind my knee which slightly hinders my total bending ..I have had a slightly bent knee for 9 years so getting those muscles/tendons to want to stretch is my minor issue..BUT NO PAIN!! . PT ended at the end of December, my knees feel so good that trying to remember to do exercises every day is my challenge …I have been back to work (hairstylist) since November 4, VERY part time & December/Jan back to my 25 hrs a week…still very glad I have now had both knees taken care of..sooo looking to summer: playing with grandkids, camping & our youngest son is getting married in Aug! Thanks for thinking of me…I truly hope & pray everyone is having a great recovery in whatever replacements they are getting or have!!!

Great report. Thanks for posting. You are doing really well to be able to work as a hairdresser. I would have found the standing at 3 months really hard.

@JennJon

Since you have a PKR on one side and a FKR on the other, is there a noticeable difference between the two? My right leg failed due to an infection and now I have to convert to a full through a two stage process.
