I had a left knee replacement in Sept. 2001 and a right hip replaced in
Jan. 2003. These were football injuries. I am able to wade reasonably
comfortably but, I do use a wading staff. I have some trouble with the
bowling ball size rocks in E. Tennessee. If you do the procedure, I would
recommend that you ask the orthopod if you can do some physical therapy
before the procedure. This will tone up the muscles and make your postop
therapy go much more smoothly. I agree to go with a hospital and surgeon
who does a bunch of these. I had no trouble and was up on the knee the next
day with a walker. Follow the directions and work hard on the post op
physical therapy and you should do fine.
