^this^ try to keep in mind that your physical therapist is not a sadist bent on your constant suffering, they will help you, it just seems malevolent.
addtionally, after a large joint replacement, you need to take anti-biotics prior to getting dental work, and must be very careful about little scrapes getting infected and possibly ending up with an infected implant.
also it is very common to end up a little too short or too long following a knee or hip replacement, a lift in the shoe on the short side is usually allyou need to do about it.
