Well, I must admit you've made ME feel a lot better today. My story: last summer I was diagnosed with a deteriorating left knee (cartilage gone, torn meniscus, ligaments strained) ortho wanted to replace knee ASAP. Something told me to wait so I told him my thoughts and he suggested I let my knee make the decision for me. In other words when the pain was so severe I couldn't stand it, he'd replace it. That was almost a year ago and I'm still doing OK but the pain can be bad. Just spent a week at Disney walking around with our grandson and no problems. So I guess I'll just keep plugging along until I can't walk any more. I wish you the best in your recovery efforts. BTW I spent the day cleaning our MH then spin trimming the lawn and my knee is killing me tonight as I type this. However, your words have encouraged me so much I'm going to play golf tomorrow so it will really hurt. If I'm going to have the pain I may as well do something fun while it hurts.
