Hi ,

I'm 56, in good health but had not been active for almost two years,

except working. Walking and stationary bike too painful, and the

arthritis class at the local Y pool was too cold. I was seen by JRI

internist (Tower Pulmonary) who okayed me for bilat anesthisia. I

was under 4.5+ hours due to the extensive damage on the left. The

left was first so I was on my right side longer than the left for the

surgery.

Dr. S told me every morning " You are not a sick person. Get out of

bed and do as much as I feel I can do. "

I can bend 120 degrees. I am walking with two crtuches about 1/2

block twice a day.

I feel wonderful!! I'm so glad I had them both done!!!!
