Great Expectations: A very good - and accurate - personal account of knee replacement surgery by the New York Time's Jane Brody. Her experience of waking up to find the pain more than she expected and of longer duration is a common one. I'm often surprised at how many people think they'll feel better right after a joint replacement. Recovery is a process, not an event. It takes several months before the benefits of the surgery are realized. posted by Sydney on
