Well Jim, that is good news that your knee can be fixed.
My wife had a total on her right knee last November, and hasn't looked back.
After 2 months she was up and about fully independently and now wonders why she hadn't done it earlier.
It is amazing what they can do these days, and to be given a second chance is fantastic.
It is by no means a 'piece of cake', but with hard work and some endone you will be up and atem' soon enough.
Good luck with it all.

It's past time for a paddle yak.

EDIT: Oops! Missed wishing you well and saying you are making the right decision. My father refused to get his done and lived in agony for years.

Sorry to hear this Jimbo.
On the bright side you will probably end up having Robocop legs and people will be surfing behind your kayak.
Best of luck with it all mate.
