I wasn't joking when I said this is our year of reconstruction with our house being remodeled and having a total hip replacement in February. I'm on a roll right now so on August 15th, I had my right knee done, too. Both my knees need a total knee replacement which is a bummer but I need to just buckle up and get it done. My hip surgery went so well that I wasn't so fearful of the knee surgery, although everyone keeps telling me they are totally different experiences. I realize their differences but I was still eager to get it over with. I'm currently post op. day # 9 and it hasn't been that bad at all. If I was to give anybody advise about this surgery, it would be PAIN CONTROL. Duh. I know that sounds obvious but twice I tried reducing my pain meds because I was feeling so good and twice I ended up increasing them back up to the prescribed amount. I need to be doing my PT exercises 3X/day and I can't do them if I'm in pain so I'
