[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 306591, member: 84"] Janet I used to work on the orthopedic floor waaaaaay back when. Knee surgery took [B]alot[/B] of rehab. And I don't recall them ever doing both at once even if both needed it. Most likely cuz it's so darn painful. I wonder why he wants to wait though. We had patients younger than you getting them done when they needed it. Worst case senerio is the prosthetic wears out over a period of time, then just has to be replaced again. (I know I said that like it was nothing) But gee, at least you'd walk better and not have the pain there, which also might help the pain levels in the hips and ankles. If he's going to want you to wait I'd make sure he has a reallly good plan for pain management. Hugs [/QUOTE]
