I have finally made it to the university of Michigan to see a knee specialist. I will let you all know what I find out. I'm so excited and sad to be here. I just hope everything goes well.

    It will...unless you wear your Ohio State sweat shirt. Then all guarantees are off.

    Hi Shari!

    Hope all is going good for your recovery!

    Are you planning your next knee replacement?

    I couldn't WAIT to have BOTH KNEES fixed! Scheduled my second knee at my six-week appointment for my first knee!

    Best thing I did to get both knees replaced!

    Wishing you the best as you continue on your journey!😊

    Glad you're getting started. I've had both knees replaced, takes a year to get strength back in the legs, depends how bad your knee (knees)are. All you have to do for the surgery is show up! The work starts with serious Physical Therapy in a couple of weeks or so. Good luck be positive!
