Karen's Story (Going Ahead with Knee Replacement)

An Interview with Karen Fattal by Mary Elliott

For Karen (55) it came down to a decision to live a normal life or one compromised by the lack of mobility. She chose to go forward with a total knee replacement surgery. She shares her experience before, during and after the surgery in this interview for our podcast, The Bee's Knees.

"It brought me to the point of stopping what I enjoyed doing, or having a knee replacement."
