Danged if I can remember - but it was more like every few hours. *So* much more comfortable than with the first one. But, I'll bet Dr. Raul Gosthe in Fort Lauderdale would probably share his protocol.

As to going easy on the new knees, it might be a question of priorities. A *lot* of the guys playing our old man tennis tournaments were sporting new knees and hips. The most interesting one that I'm aware of is King Van Nostrand, generally top ranked in the country in his age group. Believe he ages up to the 90's come January. Anyway, he's on his third and fourth knees. . .
