after total knee replacement with dr. duke at west marion, a very efficient hospital, i checked out at 130 in the afternoon. at 430 sitting at our old friday's at the bar having a beer. next day rid of the walker, went to cane. hard work before, hard work after, and skill of my surgeon made for a great thing. my workouts at laurel manor make people wonder how i am able to go with a new knee. know your limits, work on the exercises that put less stress on joint, but keep moving. 120 degree flex, able to kneel and rise. i am very happy with mine. one will only get out of it what one is willing to put into it. no miracle cure, hard work. also, do not be afraid to lose a few pounds, if needed.
