It seems to be common to do both knees at once from what I’ve seen. Perhaps if you have one good and one bad, you favor the good leg and it hinders recovery of the other. Most prefer to get it over with in one shot.

Rehab for knee surgery begins immediately. I was the only patient in the group with both knees replaced. No clue what that means.
What is certain for my fusion procedure is there's bass time involved in the healing.

I had a leg cast. Having a shower gets complicated. But every day brings you closer to recovery.

My son picked an old Cadillac Fleetwood as his first car for that very reason. Figured experienced drivers would stay out of his way or give him a pass.One advantage to being older is you can do all sorts of stuff, like act like a fool, talk to yourself in public. etc. and the "others" just look and say, "These old farts! Get 'em off our lawns!"
We can get away with things the younguns' can't.
I have a friend that had both knees done at once. It was the doctor's recommendation. They had him up and starting PT within 48 hours. That was about 3 years ago. Turned out well for him.
This is the first Christmas in several that no one touched the game guitars or drum set! (sniff) I guess the g-kids are growing up. (sniff)
.
Sad but true.... and even 3 year olds aren't interested in anything that doesn't involve a touch screen.
This Christmas it was the wireless VR that all the kids were vying to use. But the next best thing to playing with virtual objects was playing with the person wearing the VR goggles, and handsets, who couldn't see you!
Dang! Another missed video opportunity.. .

"Expect physical therapy to begin as soon as the day of [knee] surgery" is what I was told. They were correct.
Friend of mine claims he can already predict every single thing that will happen next year...says he has 2020 vision.
nevermind...I'm going.

in our house, we call those “Bampaw” jokes. I tell the grandkids really dumb jokes and they just roll their eyes.
We have one more grandkid on the way so I will have a new audience who won’t hate my jokes for 4 years or so.
BTW, the name Bampaw came from my eldest granddaughter. When she was 2-3, she had a minor speech impediment. She tried to say Grandpa but it came out as Bampaw and it stuck.
I’ll listen to that when my new computer arrives.
Yes better sound in the newer models.
They must be low on product given the delay in shipping. The season was good for Apple. Those new wireless ear pods were a big seller, they are apparently out of warehouse stock.
It’s supposed to arrive on Monday!
