15 year old TKR may need revision. What should I expect?

I had my right knee replaced in 2006 and my left in 2008, Both replacements have been very successful and I haven't had any problems until lately. My right knee, which had the greatest workout because I was 12 weeks non-weight baring after a foot operation on my left foot in 2008 ( three months after the left total knee) Suddenly I am having a great deal of pain and some swelling in that first knee. I haven't made the appointment yet but I do have a feeling that a revision is in my near future. Has anyone on the forum had a revision on a 15 year old knee? I know it will be at least as long a recovery as the original TKR. I'm getting the idea from some of what I'm reading that it may be a bit worse. I was 53 when I had the first. Now at 68, I'm not ready to slow down!
