    On the 30th of this month I will have a Total Knee Replacement. I will find out on the 19th if both need replacing but I already know the answer to that as it has been diagnosed before by another surgeon. Only question in my mind is will they do both at the same time. Therapy will be a b**** if they do. I will do both at the same time if it is allowed just so I don't have to go thru it again. In the meantime I am hunting my a** off.:D

    Sorry to hear that Rick. Hope all goes well and you're healed up by next fall.

    Rick, I wish you the best. I really hope the replacement takes away a lot of the pain you have probably been experiencing.

    Rick, I worked with a guy that had both done the same day for the very reason you state. He came out alright. If it is too painful you may not ever get the other one done if you only do one at a time.

    I have an older friend that just got his shoulder replaced. Wonder how many hunters out there are getting their surgeries done now? Good luck and I hope you heal quickly.
