Gerri, my Dad had both knees replaced (sequentially, not together) in his early seventies. His comment was that he wished he had done it a lot earlier. :-) I also have several riding friends who have had knee replacements, and I can't think of one who wasn't thrilled to be pain free and walking (and riding!) again. Make sure you do your PT afterwards. Like Lani, I would be wary of having both done at the same time, but maybe your orthopedist has a good reason. Best of luck and keep us posted.
