[QUOTE="Lynn1, post: 998298, member: 132490"] Hi. Really good to hear of your progress. Now that I have two new knees, I am determined to get on with life. I got so fed up of just 'parking' myself on the nearest bench or chair whilst my family and friends enjoyed walking, shopping etc. I feel pretty good. Have now lost two stones and, that alone, will obviously help my knees and general health. Like you I have more energy. I can walk fairly well, albeit slower than I used to years ago. It was fantastic to be able to sight-see when we visited my daughter in the US earlier this year and she was amazed at the change. I sleep very well, but am always aware of my knees when turning over in bed. And they are stiff on getting up in the morning. One thing I would love to know is are you 'aware' of your new knee (or knees)? I must say that I am constantly as they are both still very numb and honestly feel like false knees all the time. My surgeon says that this numbness will never go, and that my brain will eventually adjust and accept it. How do your's feel? One other thing - I don't think I will ever be happy kneeling down on them. [/QUOTE]
