Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hello everyone, I decided to stay with the group, and I am glad I did. I am now scheduled to have both knees replaced on Jan. 9, and I am pretty nervous about it. Fortunately, my wife will be a hugh support, I know. My 13 year old son will have to help, too, since I won't be able to walk the dog for a few weeks. Since both knees are bone on bone, I decided to go ahead and get it over with. I am 71, and hope to have both knees functional for pretty much the rest of my life. The doctor was encouraging about this, but he did say that I wouldn't be able to carry my golf bag for 18 holes any more. I have to get one of those three wheeled pushcarts, and I should be able to walk OK. As you can tell, this is pretty important to me. Thank you all for talking so openly about your own experiences, fears, and so forth. It has given me the social support I needed to make the hard decisions. Bill3735@...
