Woohoo!
I guess I missed your last post - my mom is an encouraging story for you. She had bilateral TKA in the late fall of I think it was '08. Her physical therapy was super painful for her, but she gritted her teeth and powered through it diligently.
By the next summer she was back to her avid birding ... including climbing trees to check nests and band chicks.I'm pretty sure that's against her ortho's advice, but she is fine doing it.

What a powerful testimony of a TKA survivor! My OS would be pleased as punch with what your mother is doing.

Thanks Oak and Em!
I celebrated my 5 week anniversary with a 5 mile ride and I plan on doing 6 miles next week--weather permitting of course.
