Yes, do stay safe.

 

One thing to remember as you go forward is to make sure you do ALL of the therapy they give you to do. I have several friends that have had knee and hip replacements. Those that were religious about doing their therapy are by far the happiest with their outcomes. The two that didn't, are regretting their decisions now.

 

Think Nike!  Just Do It!!!

 

Best of luck!

This  ^^^!

 

I had my left hip replaced.  Did all of the physical therapy and had no issues with it.  3 months later I had my right replaced.  I thought I knew better and did all of the therapy by myself.  Problem was that I was lazy and didn't do it as much as I should have because I had no one there to oversee and push me to do it.  I've had problems with it ever since.  Also had my right knee replaced.  Did the pt and no issues afterwards. 

 

So always do the pt for any surgery that requires it afterwards!  Left knee is up next.  Pretty close to being the bionic man lol.

 

And hope you're doing well Woody!

Dang Woody!  That looked painful.  I have to wait 4 years before I have to go through that hell with both hip and knee on my left leg.  Apparently, I'm too young for the surgery and they want to wait till I hit 58. 

 

I've been away for a bit so I'm really late to the party.  Hope you're feeling better!
