What surgery is she having? I too have (had) bad arthritis in both knees. I am currently going thru recovery from my 2nd total knee replacement. I am a bit younger than your Mom, but with a positive attitude and a lot of physical therapy she will recover and enjoy being painfree!

Well, me too!
Had second TKR a week ago and read FR daily during recovery.
Meds help, CPM helps and iPad helps...
Despite all the healthcare crap going on, SO happy I live in a time where this is routine...for now.

She is having knee replacement surgery. I have heard from others that; as you said, it will relieve her pain.

I know she will have no problem with doing the physical therapy. She is looking forward to being able to move around freely again.

Thank you for your reply.
