Cpt Steve,

Iggy got his knee done just a few weeks before me last year & was kind enough to offfer info on his surgery that gave me considerable comfort.

I agree with Buckeye 08 that it is never quite the same (how far you can bend the knee and that it doesn't always feel natural). But I'm able to put weight on mine again & have gotten that leg stronger than it has been in years - and it works beautifully for walking & stairs.

The first few weeks are rough, and after that it's still no picnic. But mine has continued to improve - you just have to put in the work.

I'll be prayin' for you buddy. Take care.
