Knee Replacement

Sylvia L. Sherman

On Jan 17, 2011, I had a total knee replacement. This was after suffering with painful arthritis for years and being bow legged on one side for 2 years. I had a great surgeon, Dr. Windsor, and terrific nursing care as well as good pain relief and lots of TLC. After a week I went to the Hospital for Joint Disease, on 17th St, for inpatient rehab. It was tough, but worked wonderfully. When I left after another week, I could walk without even a cane. I continued therapy first at home and then in the rehab center for 2 months and have such great results, freedom to walk where I wish, and freedom from pain. This procedure was a blessing and I thank everyone involved especially my doctor and the staff at HSS.
