Let me reassure you, though, you will look back on this as one of the best things you have ever done. Once you are fully healed, the results will be life changing. You just need to be patient.

At age 88, my father in law had a knee replacement malfunction. IIRC, there was a 'bad batch' or something that was known to fail like his did. It had been in there for at least 10 years or more. The replacement knee actually broke into two pieces. Same doctor that did my hip replaced his newest knee.
