My Mom had Knee replacement surgery about two months ago.This week was the first time I saw her after the surgery. She wanted to be on her feet and free of pain before she had her grandkids over.I'm still amazed what they can replace these days. My Uncle has had knees knees replaced over the course of his life. From what I hear the typical knee has a life of 10 - 15 years. I plan on keep my original benders as long as possible, so all those young whipper snappers in TKD that tells me to get lower go take a flying leap.
