    Andrea, my physio said to have feet about  a 'foot' apart....sway from one leg to the other and then put all your weight onto one leg for 10 secs then start to sway again and do the other leg. You can keep one toe on the floor to help balance.  I do this when standing at the sink or cooking.  I have also started massaging and exercising with both legs even though I had my left done 8 years ago.

    In fact the consultant mentioned yesterday when they discharged me for 12 months, that the next visit, they would xray both knees to see how the left was keeping up.
