Congratulations on going through the procedure of knee replacement. It must have been pretty bad for you prior to the surgery and your choice of having it replaced will bring you many years of greater comfort and mobility. I have had a hip replacement (4 years ago) and it was the best decision for me. I was afraid that I would lose skiing and hiking. Not so, I am skiing as powerful as ever. Joint replacement technology and procedure has come a million miles over the past 40 years (since it first became available). My words of advice, though, is to follow the doctors' direction to the letter. That is, exactly the prescribed amount of movement and exercise to begin with, no more and no less. Then, as you progress into physical therapy, participate at the fullest extent possible. The payoff is great, if you do. My other words of wisdom are to spin as much vinyl as possible and enjoy the music to the fullest extent.
Best to you on an excellent recovery. 👍😃
