You have had one knee replacement and are awaiting the left knee soon. I hope the wait won't be too long for you. You mention that you get flare ups related to the seasons especially Autumn, I know quite a few members have commented on weather conditions affecting their arthritis .Meanwhile you are spending your retirement keeping active with walking and the gym.
