My grandma has really bad arthritis in her knees and the doctor said they needed to be replaced. My grandma said no, I'm too old for that. Only this would have been like 25, 30 years ago and now she's 90. I totally get why she said no but I also know for a fact she didn't expect to live decades longer with horrible knees. She also has something with her eyes that requires her to get needles poked in them every month. And the doctor scratched her cornea at the last appointment.

I don't want to live to be 90.

I guess I'm saying at least your husband is at a completely reasonable age for surgery, LT.

My dad tore his ACL last year on his one wheel. Of course he ignored that something was wrong until last month, when he ran into issues snowboarding. Or maybe it was mountain biking. I can't remember. Anyway, he's having surgery tomorrow. I hope his gf can exert some positive influence so he doesn't jump the gun during recovery.
