I don't know a lot about what is going on with Denise outside of you asking for prayers for her a little while ago but I would recommend that you get your knees done so you can take care of Denise. I have not had anyone get both done at the same time, but have heard that it can be done and think I would at least look into it because you don't want to be going through surgery when Denise needs you the most.

Dang Joe, when it rains it pours,huh? I guess I need to start counting my blessings instead of pizzin and moanin' about my back going out the other day.

Sounds like your old knees have just degenerated to the point of no return so a TKR is probably the only solution.

My Wiffy had her right knee done in 2009 and her hip is next on the list.

I sure don't know if getting both done at the same time is prudent but it sure would cut your down time in half, that is if your rehab went as planned.

I've been praying for you both so that will continue along with additional prayers for your situation and recovery.

Good Luck with whatever you decide !

joe i am really sorry to hear this. may you have a really speedy recovery.

Geeeze - and I thought my prep for the every 5th year trip to the "rear admiral" today was tough. At least they gave me whoopee drugs and some 'suitable for framing quality' color pictures of my innards

Good luck - and get those knees fixed. Yes it will hurt for a while and marathons are out of your immediate future plans, but someone needs to be available to tend to the DW
