Default Surgery or Not?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for personal input from any of you who has had knee replacement surgery. My hubby just got back from a visit with the surgeon and is now questioning his decision - should he have his knee replaced or not???? Hubby had pretty much decided that he was going to schedule surgery for this summer, so that he could go through re-hab and be fit-as-a-fiddle by the time we return to TV in October. After reading the literature given to him by the surgeon, he has MANY questions - and who better to answer these particular questions than someone who has gone through the process. He knows that everyone is different and his results may not be the same but would you please share your experiences - negative or positive. How does your pain compare before and after? Was your mobility greatly affected? Are you able to participate in activities (golf, exercise, walking/hiking, etc.)? How long did it take you to 'get back to normal' so to speak? Thanks in advance.
