So how long will i need someone here with me at my house? I live alone. My neice has volunteered to come and stay with me. I'm 79 years old but pretty strong.

So the ortho doctor showed me my exrays and said I need knee replacement surgery. I wasn't expecting it, couldn't even think of anything to ask. They are ready to schedule me for it. But I feel uninformed and not ready.

Edit, ask the doctor. Stupid autocorrect elf.

I injured my keft knee years ago and have severe arthritis in it as well as now bone on bone. Not surprised that I need the surgery.

I had a minor right knee injury last year that supposedly healed itself.

Now I'm planning my left knee surgery, who will come to help me, moving a few things around to make it easier, etc.

All of a sudden my right knee hurts again. And almost like the left knee. Is this for real? Or is it some kind of psychological trick my mind is playing on me?
