This book was very informative. It answered many questions that I had about both preparation for and recovery from the surgery. My surgery is one week from today, so I will have to see how accurate it actually was. I'm sure that everyone has a different experience, but I like to know as much as possible ahead of time and this book definitely offered a lot of information and answered many of my questions. I am having both knees done at once and I would have liked a little more information related to that.

My only regret is not having access to this book soon enough. I can certainly see it would also prepare a person for the surgery in many ways. I felt it was presented as clear information. Think it helped that one of the authors had actually had this surgery. I referred to the text whenever I had a question or needed some help in dealing with a certain problem. It was almost like having a doctor or physical therapist at my finger tips.

This book has become my only reference book. I read it before my knee replacement as I contemplated having it done. Now that the surgery is done I use it as a reference book. My therapist was very impressed by it too!! This is a book all patients considering or have had a knee replacement must read.

This book was very helpful in knowing what to expect when having a total knee replacement. So much of the information is not provided by the doctor or physical therapist.

Only book I know in this genre = you want to recover from knee or hip surgery self-sufficiently. Very good job overall. Many exercises to pick from at all phases of regaining mobility from ground zero thru several years after. The Message: begin in earnest the very first day and use a CPM machine. The first 3 weeks done correctly make all the difference later.
