[AT] Larry G. Knee Replacement

[charliehill]

My mom's proceedure was her second.  She had the other knee done about 10 
years ago.  At 91 she was up walking the day after the surgery, 3 days after 
she was at a assisted living facility for rehab where she stayed for about 
15 days.  When they released her they told her she could drive.  She went 
back to her orthopedic guy last week for a follow up and he told her she was 
ahead of the curve on her rehab.

Don, go to Canada and try to get one.
