Comments: At the age of 58, my arthritis had become so bad in my knees that I had to finally resort to taking a wheelchair from the gate to the terminal at the airport. At that point, I said: "No more!" I was tired of living my life as a cripple and I was still so young.
I have had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Greenhow. In both cases, I went back to work the following week. The first one I didn't know what to expect, so I used a walker for a few weeks when I was out and about, but my second one, I never used a walker after I left the hospital. While most people may not go back to work quite so fast, I just wanted to keep my mind busy and the surgery leaves you immediately better than you were before the surgery. In both cases I had the surgery on a Monday and by Friday I had less pain than I did before the surgery.
I tell all my friends who have joint problems: "The minute your joints keep you from living life, go get them fixed. I went from being an old woman to a teenager overnight.
My husband recently had his first knee replacement by Dr. Greenhow and I have referred so many others to him as well. I have never had a second thought about whether it was the right thing to do and he was certainly the doctor to go on that journey with.
