Same advice and experience as Fred Cook.

My wife had two total knee replacements done in 2014, one in January and the next one in April. The first 7 to 10 days after surgery are pretty darn tough. In physical therapy you really need to devote your time and attention to one knee at a time.

The appeal of getting them done at the same time seemed to make sense to her up until the time she asked her surgeon and he flatly refused to do them at the same time.

You need that good knee for getting around, taking a shower, going to the rest room etc... the second knee replacement went much easier because then she had a really good new knee to help her get around.
