I need a knee replacement, but as usual, life gets in the way of plans.
Trying to fit surgery into a summer filled with an annual guy trip DH always takes (and lives for), a meet & greet with future in-laws a 6 hour drive away, and finally son's wedding in September which is a plan trip away.
How long after your knee replacement would you have been comfortable getting on a plane, walking around Second City for a few days, and being escorted down the aisle? Is 6 weeks realistic? It feels really right to me. Or should I wait until after the nuptials to be safe?
I'm not at the tipping point yet, but don't want another cortisone shot since that means at least a 90 day wait for surgery.
Getting old is not for sissies.
