NICE!
Being a cyclist really helps. I hadn't ridden for many years when I had my first one replaced and the recovery took a while.
By the time I had my second on replaced, I had returned to cycling and had fought back against the arthritis that cost me the knee by riding from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the California Coast Classic in 2016 and 2017, to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. I had the second one replaced in Nov. 2017 and road the Calif. Coast Classic again in September 2018. Being an active cyclist again, the second operation went much smoother. I went home the same day and was able to climb the stairs up to my bedroom that night.
Would you like to join me for the 2019 California Coast Classic this Sept 20-28? If not, would you care to be a sponsor? events.arthritis.org/participant/Oren
In either case, if you have any questions about post total knee replacement riding, let me know.
