Oh, can I relate, Bart... Accepting limitations. Not wading where the others do.. Even this year not accepting invites to the offshore tuna hunt as I am still not sure I am stabile enough on my feet... Hell I only got out on my own boat 6-7 times. I too had many surgeries (5) on my right knee before getting a total replacement. I knew in the back of my mind that I would eventually need one, but am urging you to do everything you can to build up yours now. The TKR is not a silver bullet. That said, most are not as compromised as you and I were/are going into that surgery. High respect to all who have experienced it. I am much improved and actually walking well at 16 plus months post op, but getting this body in motion is not at all as easy as it was before the surgery.
