Everyone I know who has had a new knee put in has told me that recovery was uncomfortable for a few weeks and they still wish they had  done it years earlier.Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'll be thinking healing thoughts. Many years ago I was having a lot of trouble with one knee. Three different orthopedists told me I was way too young to have it replaced. It's functional now... but someday... Good luck!

Bon knee voyage, pique! Yes, to all comments plus a suggestion. If you've got any practice in meditation (separating yourself from the "pain body", etc.) now's the time to use it. I found Lamaze breathing to be very helpful in the recovery (and many others), but I doubt you've learned it. Falling down in the hospital within 24 hours of the surgery owing to negligent nurses didn't help the quality of the healing but I'm sure you won't have to deal with that!

Hope your recovery is quick and as smooth as possible and that you are back with your ponies soon!

Scary, yes. I do wish you wellness, quickly. One day it shall be me. I am such a procrastinator!

A difficult time to practice ... trust. Believe in your team. Believe in your body to heal. Believe in your strength to endure discomfort and awkwardness. You might get a nerve block which could make it pretty painless right away. Watch out for narcotic pain meds - many people have trouble with constipation that causes more discomfort than the surgery!

I have skied with friends that have knee and hip replacements. Stay out of the bumps.  They don't ski moguls. Not sure they ever did. No one on this forum doubts your ability to "tough it out" and come out of this ready to dance.
