Monday 17th. Just a few more days to get things in order and I'll be out of commission for a few weeks. Glad to get it done but a tiny bit apprehensive all the same. I know what to expect because I had my left knee replaced about 7 years ago. Surgery was fine but the rehab was a killer. I've been taking short rides to keep up my flexibility and leg muscle strength, hoping that the rehab will go better by doing so. About 10 days ago I was instructed to go off of almost all of my RA meds so getting around has been pretty tough. I can barely walk but I can ride a bike. Strange. After this weekend my riding season will be finished for this year, I anticipate that by the time I can get back on a bike the snow will be flying. But the best news is that by next spring I should be raring to go with no more knee pain!
If you're the praying type please say a little prayer on Monday.

I am currently the coach with my partner who had hers done August 15th. Sunday she hiked 3.5 miles up the ridge with an elevation gain over over 1100 feet. It's amazing what a new knee can do!
Good luck and i will keep you in my thoughts.

Good luck, Bike Writer. You'll do fine in the rehab, because you are motivated.
