I had a total knee replacement done in July and spent the summer in my PV kilts. I wore them to PT and usually had a pair on gym shorts on underneath for some of the PT workouts. I tried my heavier wool kilts, but with the swelling and the heat here in Co. they were too warm. My lighter weight kilts worked very well. I too just wore the darn knee out, especially when I was younger (just turned 61). I am now walking/hiking pain free for the first time in a while. Good luck with your knee and truly stick to what you physical therapist tells you. You learn to love them more than you hate them.

Looking sharp, McNulty! Those staples look wicked painful!

Glad to know it all went well, Dutchy.
I had two separate arthroscopies in the first half of the year, which immensely improved my walking and other activities. I had been in quite a bit of pain.
Wore trousers after the operations, sad to say, as my kilts were in for repairs. The kilts would have made life much easier.
All the best for your recovery. Will there be another procedure?
Regards,
Mike
