Wow- a whole year? Yikes. My hope is to be back on track this summer.
My doc is pretty much the rock star in town, and he does what is called a "minimally invasive" replacement (a name he says is unfortunate, since it's still plenty invasive). This does not involve cutting the quadriceps muscle, which supposedly speeds recovery quite a bit.
I'll be sure not to vote under the influence of pain meds!
