[Leica] IMG: Liechtenstein Hike

[Tina Manley]

Hi, Montie -

I had a wonderful surgeon which makes all the difference.  I had both knees
replaced at the same time and was in the hospital for 3 days.  I had
another week at home with a physical therapist visiting and then graduated
to a gym for more exercises for another month.  Six weeks after the
surgery, I was hiking up mountains in Guatemala.  My titanium knees are
much better than my old ones and I haven't regretted having them replaced
for a minute.  I thought I was headed for hip replacement, too, but this
arthritis diet I'm on has completely removed my hip pain.

Good luck!  I know you'll be glad you did it after it's all over.

Tina
