2024年2月29日 · I think you will be fine. Personally, I found it easier to get in and out of a vehicle with a higher seat after my hip replacement.

2014年4月28日 · To those who have had knee replacement, has any of you been to the beach soon after surgery? My family will be going to the beach on our family vacation about 5 weeks after my surgery. I was just wondering what I can expect. I dont mind sitting by the ocean and watching every one else play if...
