Good for you, Rick.  I had a total hip replacement and a second revision. Rock On!

 Knees -  2 for the price of one,   For a variety of reasons. I only have so much sick leave banked, and I wanted the pain & my limitations ENDED!   My brother & c0-worker & a lady at chevelle tech all had 2 @ once & highly recommended it to me.   And yes, finding a Dr who will still do 2 was  a bit difficult.
 
   So far ( 9Days) there has been no drama at all.  I have not felt a bit of significant pain.   Just in the last 2 days am I feeling the incision & staples.   But its just an annoying feeling for now.  I get around the house & out to the mailbox pretty well.  Am up to 95 degrees on the CPM.    Boredom
is the current enemy :D   I should have bought a laptop so I'd have something to do while I'm on the CPM.
       Several people have told me that I will grow to hate my PT - But I gotta give er a go.    And the discomfort I have now is no wheres near the pain I was living with.  I can sleep well at nite which I couldn't do before.  Hope that all goes well on your second go-round.

By R&R, do you mean replaced? Both at one time is tough, I had one done last Oct. and getting ready to do the other. The Dr. did not recommend both at same time. I know rehab on one was h____! I can't imagine both at same time.  Mine was ruff till about the 10th week, then over night it turned around and was  terrific compared to the old knee, but for the first 10 weeks I wondered if I had done the right thing getting it replaced. Now I wouldn't hesitate to get the other done and going to asap.  Just going to miss driving the 4 sp for a while. Hope everything is going  good.
