Marilyn, my wife had her left knee replaced for the 2nd time one year ago in June and she's still not 100% but the Doc says it's to be expected. She goes back for her 1 year follow-up on the 20th. Her physician is now hinting at maybe a second back surgery. Her first was 20+ years ago.
I called Shirley at the hospital this afternoon and she said that she is feeling better and that she had her first therapy treatment today. She didn't say how long that she would be there.
