I'm about 30 yrs out too. They found some ar
thritis when they did the surgery, given the family history that wasn't surprising. They warned me I'd have trouble in the future. We got the same message for my kitty who had surgery for a floating patella when she was 18mos old. She's 17.5hrs old now and it's something we're dealing with, making her favorite places more accessible without a big leap.
Watching the forecast here, we probably won't make it to the wake. The family posted on FB to stay home for those that planned to travel because mom would prefer you stay safe.
Knee has good days and bad days. Some bad days lately are probably self-induced because I didn't keep up with PT. It has a way of letting me know! Pain avoidance is good motivation. I'm with Terri and need to get moving.
