    Feeling Depressed

    I had a manipulation with a surgery prior to mr TKR, you just wake up with a sore and swelly knee. Its not nearly as bad as it seems.

    Dry mouth

    I bought a big can of powerded gatorade and kept a big insulated cup of it beside my recliner for the longest time. The electrolytes in the drink are good for your muscles if they are cramping, which I had a lot of. Dw

    How to get best ROM

    I hope your hubby does well. Ongoing right knee problems and injuries over a 20 plus year construction career led to my having to have a RTKR at 39 and giving up what I loved most. Now I have changed to my second love, cooking as a new career. Best of luck, I feel hubby's pain. Dw

    Feeling low

    I recently went to my OS for my six week check, he said everything was going well. I assumed after home physical therapy that he would send me to an outpatient facility for more work on ROM.
