Maureen, I'm Canadian, so I'm having the knee replacement done in Ontario. Obviously I need to talk to the Physio Department at the Hospital to find out exactly what is provided. But now I have some good ideas about the questions to ask.

I'm amazed to hear that some posters have had both knees replaced at once. Bravely done! It seems that the key to success is exercise before and after. I obviously need to spend less time on the computer and more time on my bike.

Thanks to Madelaine for the PM.
