The rehab seemed to be a very important issue with my mother also. She
knew people who hadn't done much rehab and didn't re-gain very much
range of movement for their leg. She kept waking up at night from pain
but was glad she had it done. The biggest problem she ran into is that
she can no longer get on her knees. Getting up from the floor/ground
is very difficult. Hope you have a speedy recovery Chuck.
