Great news Cecily!  Timely for me too. I had my left knee replaced  August 
7 and the second December 4th last year.  I did get a bit of riding in 
between the two but this second knee is going a bit slower than the first. 
I needed a bright spot today. Thanks!

Congrats for getting back in the saddle, Cecily!

Your post was very timely for me, as my own knee has been acting up of 
late. I had minor arthroscopic surgery on it years ago, and I'm not 
enthusiastic about another and being off the bike -- even for a short time 
-- but your story reminds me to look past the recovery period and into the 
future.
