Hi a.

I had my Knee replacement done two years ago .My leg is still numb from the operation but I had a hip replacement five years ago that still bothers me most people have 18 stanples I had 38 stanples . I think having my Knee replacement done was not as hard as the Hip replacement but you do go through a lot of pain with the Knee replacement .

I;m sorry if this isn't with you wanted to hear.Well I wish you luck. Susiea <twhwoman@...> wrote:

Just try asking again......I don't remember seeing your questions, but there are LOTS of questions, and I'm pretty old, so don't remember everything in the first place.

I guess the reason I didn’t reply was because I have hip problems and not knee but I would like to give you my 2 cents on a couple of things. My mom has had a knee replacement so I think I know a little. One is that, surgery is traumatic to the body. Since you are already fighting cancer, I would say that you don’t want to overdo. I also personally believe that double surgeries are not that great an idea. Yes, you get them both over at once, but I like having a “good” leg to fall back on. When you do both, both legs are out of commission until you regain strength in both of them. I heard somewhere that MIS was the best way to go. =-)

Blessings,

Vera

I was really only kidding about senior moments and the like......I'm 67. Whether you think that's old or young probably has a lot to do with your age.
