Good question. Got to have a lot of help moving around if you replace both. I had one replaced and had a tough time thru therapy. Couldn't imagine having both replaced and not having one "good" leg to help move around. But others had both replaced with few problems. One lady was walking almost as good within a week as I was doing in two months. Others had more problems than I had and consequently went to a nursing home for a period. I had lost a lot of flexibility before the replacement and getting the tendons/ligaments to move again was extremely painful, so if you have full range motion it likely will be easier. Heard a couple individuals comment that they had so much trouble with the first one that no way would they ever do another. Going in twice increases the chances of getting an infection, but if you do get an infection when both are done, it is hard to immagine how one would cope. I had a spinal and certainly wouldn't like them poking in again for a second operation. Probably going to need someone to even wipe your rear for a few days if you do both. But if you are the type of individual that will never lay down and quit if things become tough, and have a lot of available help, I'd probably do them both.
