I'm worried now that I've forgotten to read a book and write a report!

i had to spend last week babysitting him. he is the world's worst patient. 1 week into a knee replacement and he is already complaining about golf, driving, the gym...
srsly though is your ma having both done at once? having seen how much my dad needed his other knee to support him when getting up etc, that might be hardcore??

if you're fairly fit, you'll be fine. my dad has always been obsessed with fitness, and his muscles were so strong that they did all the work. 9 weeks to the day after his first one (6 years ago) he was on a jet ski in antigua. the problem was, it lengthened his leg by an inch when they fixed the knee, so after a while of limping around like that, his hip was getting fucked. so he had no choice.
i think it'll be fucking painful but not as bad as she might think, based on my dad's experience. he's certainly thrilled with them.
