[Norton AntiSpam] Re: Vacation 9 months post op

[Guest guest]

Pat, wow, that sounds very encouraging to me. How long was it beore you were

walking around, after surgery? How long before you could take care of yourself?

My surgeon won't do two at once but my left knee is still not hurting so I

wouldn't do it anyway.

Maybe this isn't so scary after all?

cruise to Nassau tied in. I am 9 months post op from a bilateral knee

replacement. I did a LOT of walking - on the beach for at least a mile and I

walked for 11 hours in Epcot in one day. I SURVIVED with very little pain or

discomfort. I never could have done this a year ago before the surgery. I

debated getting a wheelchair at Epcot, but really did well. Even on a cruise

ship, there is a lot of walking up and down and all around.
