that's fine for them.

what scares me is that will I have any mobility back after all that crud in my knee? I'm aware that it'll HURT LIKE HELL after surgery, but will my knee work? that's what I'm so scared silly about, cuz I sure can't bend my left knee or move it sideways. that's how bad it is.

*whimpers*

If done correctly it should work. Almost like new. It takes about 6 months to a year though to get used to it. Well it did for my Aunt.
