Re: Not cancer but a new challenge for me

My mother-in-law had both knees replaced, but not at the same time. The first time she went to rehab and hated it. She felt fine, but they would not allow her to leave until her coumadin level was at the correct level. After the second surgery she decided to come directly home from the hospital. She walked into the house, up the stairs and started setting the table for my daughters birthday. The visiting nurse the next day said that that she had never seen anything like it. My mother-in-law is 86 and that was only a few years ago. I live in the Boston area and would highly recommend her surgeon.
Good luck, Gerri.
