RE:Hi Boys & GirlsBest wishes on your recovery, Dan. Some unsolicited advice from someone who's had both knees (and shoulders) replaced: work diligently on the physisical therapy. It is the epitome of ' no pain, no gain'. I played my first round of golf in five weeks after each knee replacement. Shoulders are a little trickier. My first knee done is now 16 years old and going strong.
