I just meant my apprehension of the recovery period and physiotherapy is why I haven't gone through with the surgery. I seem to be getting by somewhat normally atm.

I'm sure you're stronger and more motivated than I am, and your supports are greater than mine, so you will do very well. A friend is in his 80's and skiis like a pro, he said getting both his knees replaced some years ago was the best thing he's ever done.

I'm not gonna' lie.............PT was hard. I'd suggest that despite the inevitable pain you're going to experience, push through it. And I'm no doc, but strengthening and rebuilding the tissue back up in the surrounding area is the goal. I think with the passage of time you'll be glad you did it.

And totally agree about falling.

This was and still is my ortho's advice.................."what ever you do, don't fall."
