Why do people wait so long to get their room replaced?

It's funny, I see people walking around and they know that they need a knee replacement.

Like that little duck you talked about, they walk around like a little duck, but they will not go see, get that knee replaced.

And so I thought it's very interesting that people, I don't know,

I don't know how they view knee replacements, but it's very interesting to see, in my life, to see the pain that people have put up with in order to not get their knees replaced.

As you were talking, I remember I got a shot before I went to Africa.

And that cortisone worked perfectly that first time.

But the second and the third time, it didn't work at all.

But what I want to ask is this, is that

What other kind of conditions lead to the need for knee replacement?

I mean, what medical condition?

I mean, I think that for me, I had arthritis.

But the way that I was walking around, you know, on a concrete with, you know, little flat shoes and stuff like that didn't help much either.

What kind of conditions lead to the need for a knee replacement?

a lot of people who don't understand or don't know about this, or they've been kind of thinking about it, how long is the process for them getting, I mean, the surgery itself, how long does it take?

And then how long will they stay in the hospital?

And then, no, you talked about the average, well, you talked about recovery time.

Somebody had two weeks, and they were back out there.

But what's usually the average in terms of recovery time?

uh with when your knees get replaced and that i guess recovery is kind of a an interesting word you know but uh can you kind of work with us a little bit on that one sure and and hips too i mean yeah hips hips and knees seem to be the the things that are replaced the most that i see for sure that's that's right the the uh the surgery takes i would say it generally in a really routine situation
