Please pray for my brother-in-law Dennis who is having two knee replacements. He will have the first surgery on December 9 and the second on December 14.
Prayers up for Dennis!
Prayers for your brother, his surgeon, the nurses, and his anesthesia provider!
We will pray,Fatima
Prayers on the way.
BTW, I know a handful of people who have had this surgery. All had great sucess. One is my 65 year old hunting buddy. He lost one hunting season but hunts every year with me in the mountains.
Prayers for Dennis - God bless!
We had two knees done at our house last year — great success and no more pain. First month is a challenge, but worth it. We live in a wonderful time.
Prayers for your family.
Prayers to your family. Am having my knee replaced on the 14th.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Prayers for Dennis I hope he has no complications. I had one knee replaced October 2008 and it was a 2 year recovery. I had 3 complications, abcess, blood clot and infection. I am resolved to not have the other knee done.
Prayers.
My father had both knees replaced but the surgerys were a year apart. after each surgery he spent at least two weeks in the hospital rehab section before coming home. I Pray that this surgery is a great sucess.
My step dad had one knee done and was up and around for five or six months before doing the other knee. He said he couldn’t have made a recovery without having one good leg.
That is a big amount of PT coming up. Prayers up.
Has he had a second opinion on partial knee replacement? Hubby had one and it was a breeze compared to the full. He was up and walking in 3 hrs, and never used a crutch or walker, did a little PT at home. And can now kneel on the knee, where those with full replacement lose that ability.
Buy him a pair of knee warmers, he will need them, the metal makes the knee ache in the cold weather.
I use these fingerless gloves to help the arthritis in my hands.

Prayers for your brother-in-law’s successful surgery.
My sister-in-law had both knee replacements done the same day and did just fine! We could hardly believe how quickly she was up and about! Now she runs circles around all of us. LOL
Thank you for your advice. Yes, it is actually just a partial replacement, thank heavens.
