Well a week ago I had my right knee replaced and a week has gone by and tomorrow I go to my first Rehab. I was keep another day because the Pain pills really made me sick so missed my rehab at the Hospital and was kept till Friday. Now I know just what our other brave Members of Joint replacement has gone thru. DAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!! Ha,Ha. MERLE

Listen to the therapist and don't overdo even if it feels like you can. You're in my thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery.

Hang in there Merle! EVERYONE I know who has had knee or hip replacements say they wish they had done so years before... Little consolation to you right now, but you WILL get better and most likely feel the same also... You'll be back on your feet and up and around before you know it...just do exactly what your Doc's/Nurses tell you to do and don't overdo to much tooooo early! Prayers to you and yours...hate to hear about a great carver being down for any reason!!!

Good thing carving is a sitting down hobby.
