I loved having the last knee fixed, I was so sick of PT and shots and trying to save the knees. now, ten years later, I rarely even think of them!!

You will be sooooo happy to have to good knees again! Glad you have a date.

I got my second Jan. 16th. You will probably find this one easier than the first, mainly because you will know what to expect and not be blown away by the initial discomfort. Good luck on your surgery!
