Ladies of TE, thank you for all the well wishing and thoughts. There has been a big change of events and I will not be having knee surgery on Monday, the update is at this thread http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...435#post656435

Wahine, that was my thought exactly. I've been doing short regular rides to strengthen muscles and I recall that when I had my left knee done the PT put me on a stationary bike right off and had me just go back and fourth as much as I could, I distinctly remember the day when I was able to get it all the way around. Proud as punch! I like the idea of the ball too. If all goes well I could look at knee repacement next fall?
