I had my knee replacement surgery jus before Halloween, 2017. I did my PT religiously and walked a good bit. I was back on the bike by February 2018, commuting to work, training for century rides and getting back to the daily joy that cycling gives me. You'll be back on your bike soon enough. Walking and just getting around in daily life will be much better, too! You just gotta get past those first 72 hours after surgery. Good luck with the new knee!

Grease in the shifter get sticky after several years. A liberal bath by spraying WD-40 up in the shifters, while moving the handles, should clean most of it out. Let it flow out, then spray with Teflon lube. For other easy repairs, YouTube might save you quite a few dollars because a lot of things are fairly simple if you know what to do.
