I retire next year and Dr is suggesting I will need a knee replacement soon (arthritis).
I think I can tough it out until after retirement.
so gathering facts.
First the gory part, do they actually cut out my entire knee joint and install a metallic one? (this freaks me out some... no, a lot).
Second logistics.
We live at the top of about 20 steps, I'm thinking all I have to get up those once then I can camp out in the house for a month or three. I have big construction worker neighbors who help out with all kinds of heavy lifting. I could sit in a wheelchair and they could carry me upstairs?
A lady at my wife's work had a knee replacement and she told her "no way he will be able to do the stairs"
Well duh... I wasn't planing on running up and down the stairs right after the operation
