The damn thing will probably be built in China, machined in Japan, and installed in the US. Seems about right doesn't it? Lol. Good luck with your surgery Yogi.

A friend of mine had a total knee replacement back in June. He's had a hell of a time with recovery.

As with my F-I-L, but he was older and had it done at a VA facility- ( not real good circumstances)

Yeah... it's surprised me how hard its been on him. He's only 40. I overcame my back surgery in April much faster and I am only 8 months older than him... and also, my FIL (74 at the time) overcame his knee surgery much easier as well.

Just be sure you do the physical therapy.... that helps so much even though it seems like it is such a slow pace. I am so glad I did it with my back.
