I'm pleased to say my knee feels a lot better. It's still not back to normal, and I don't know if it ever will be, but I'm learning to deal with it instead of expecting it to be like it was before.

My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it's a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month's time, so it's going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I'm good to go so far.

I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.

Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse.

I've got to take care of the knee to finish the season healthy.

I had pain in both knees my whole career. Not many athletes play pain-free. Mine was just more than normal.

My knee has always given me problems. But it got to the point where I actually had to start giving up things. And I hate that.

Having a normal knee would make life a lot easier.

I can't dance anymore. Total knee replacements. I can't do anything anymore.

The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery, there's nothing really magical that I can do that's going to make it better. I just can get my leg stronger, my muscle stronger and try and support it a little more. But that has a small impact. My knee is loose, and it's not stable, and that's the way it's going to be from here on out.
