I did start a thread in the Fifty Plus crowd. 5 Oct, a month shy of 10 years since my left knee replacement, I had my right knee replaced. I feel I was in better shape for this one, thanks to my return to cycling after my 140 pound weight loss. But also, the new surgical techniques are awesome. I'm down to one narcotic at night, otherwise, pain is well managed by Aleve. I'm just amazed at the difference in recovery this time.
Old knee is in the right side of the image, new one on the left...
