Well it's done, late this morning I got the new knee. Faaaaaaaarken pain like I've never experienced before, but all under control now.
I've been up on it already as I was told to, and that was better than I thought. Wearing my own pajama's now, great.
Bloody awesome reply's from you lot, keep them coming. Cheer's

Great news

Just remember to "run it in" gently - not a case of "ride it like you stole it"...

All the best.

'Er indoors reckons you can't kneel on 'em. But she's an ex ED nurse, likes to creep me out.

I'm in the same position, but the specialist has told me to come back and see him when I can't walk more than 100 metres at a stretch! However, he pushed me to cycle as much as possible and there has been a huge improvement. Whilst the weather was crap in winter, I put the mountain bike in a static frame and pedalled for up to an hour a day. Now the weather has got better, it's out on the road most days. The knees aren't ever going to be brilliant, but am pleased with the improvement.

Yeah that'd be me, they are just shortie pyjamas and so comfortable.
Thanks for teaching me how to spell pyjama. I can now return the favour.

Probably good advice. Balance to be had there, though, between the "use it or lose it" theory and the "only so many miles" theory.

Meh, I'll stick with what comes naturally, enough exercise to keep 'er indoors off me back and diligent experimentation with various alcoholic pain medications.

Agreed but the medics push cycling because it's low impact but gives a wide range of movement. Yeah, I swear by the benefits of single malt too

I was told it's good that my surgeon pushed to have it done while I was still very mobile. The muscles and ligaments are good and strong.
This will help me recover much faster. I exercise heaps, ride bikes and go for nice three kilometer walks with my partner while holding hands, Very nice.
