Buying more time at our age is not always a good thing. Surgery becomes more difficult as we get older. Recovery is hard and takes longer as we get older. I have not had any joint replacements, but everyone I have spoken with that has was sorry they waited. It is NOT a minor deal. It is hard work, but you can regain almost all of your functionality if you work hard after the surgery.
Good luck. It is a hard decision that only you can make in the end.
