All the best. Hope it goes well and you have a speedy recovery. My dad got both his done at the same time.

All the best, hope it all goes well.
A good friend had both of his done last year. There was a 4 month delay between operations as the surgeon didn't want to do both at the same time.
My friend was very focused on getting the maximum flexibility from his new knee and used a static bike set up in his conservatory on a daily basis.
He's right as ninepence now, does parkrun every week and the b*gger is starting to catch me up!

Despite the delayed start, I got out about three quarters of an hour later than usual, I managed fifty miles and was back just before two. What used to be a regular stop at one time, Hatton Locks cafe, for a bacon sandwich and a coffee, they do a lovely bacon sandwich, it was very busy this morning and there were an unusually large number of dog walkers in, I ended up with a dog laying across my feet, the owner wanted to move it but I wasn't bothered, I was getting my feet warmed up. Good ride out with a tail wind, but a bit of a slog home into a head wind, though I had some fun riding through Lowsonford, at the top of a hill just before the village I was caught by a small group of riders and then hung onto their coat tails down through the village before I lost them on the climb out, I couldn't match their pace up the hill on the fixed, I think they turned off just after that as I didn't see them again. In the end it turned out to be a decent morning out on the bike. Dentist next, six month checkup.

Well it's been a good day. I did domestics till 11.00 then down to the LBS for coffee, natter, new glasses, tube and cleat screws. Spent a bit of time looking at frames with the owner.
Headed out for a ride at 1.00. I need to get bike fit again and start climbing again. So 29 miles and 2500 feet. It was meant to be the golden ratio but for some reason I turned left instead of right and missed the last climb. Bizarre.
One or two on here know the area, the climbs I tackled were Anglezarke, Sheephouse Lane, Gregson Lane, Hill House and Top Lock - really hurt on Top Lock where it rises 75 feet in 500 at an around 9/10%.
Did a couple of hours logging when I got home. Tea and then sit down with a whisky!
