Man I feel yer pain. I have had 3 myself. It always amazed me that the Total Knee folks had less therapy and were sent home sooner than I was ever able to accomplish!

Good luck man. Have a friend who had total knee replacement. They had him up using a walker the next day. Was back to walking on his own in just a couple of weeks, albeit gingerly. He, however does not ride now, but he needed the replacement from a motorcycle accident back when he was in his 20's. This operation was 2 years ago at the age of 73. You should be up and riding in no time.
