    TKR No Kneed to Worry:)

    I think you may be right. I cant really remember from last year but based on how i am feeling now, I would say that in another week or so, things will be a lot better. Tell you what, recovering from a TKR is NO JOKE:)))

    TKR No Kneed to Worry:)

    Hi Everybody, It's been 5 weeks now. Wow that time really went by fast. Compared to how things were right after the surgery, I can tell I am making goof progress. My challenge is to just not over-do it because if i do, the swelling is so uncomfortable and it sets me back for a a couple of...

    TKR No Kneed to Worry:)

    Hi Everybody, I'm checking in to say that I have finally been discharged from the hospital and am rehabbing comfortably at my son's home until I feel strong enough to take care of myself. My surgery was on Jan. 18th and it went well. I had some complications: they were over dosing the...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Hello Fellow Bonies:) Well, my surgery date is this coming Friday, January 18th. I've been re-reading my threads from last year when I had a knee replacement on my other knee and it is such a good reminder of what I can anticipate. I know each knee is different but at least I am somewhat...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    my stairs have rails on each side so i told on and take it slow. i intentionally try to let my new knee do as much work as it can handle. but my arms are doing some of the work, too. because of the difficulty with my "other" knee, i never felt comfortable putting all the weight on my knee...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Thanks for all the lovely words of encouragement! I'm ready. The only thing I am not looking forward to is that threading of the nerve block tube thru my leg. That was weird. After that though, they wheeled me into "somewhere" for my anesthesia and the next thing I remember was being in my...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Hey Everybody, I looked around my house the other day and it looked like a bomb had gone off in here. So much clutter, everywhere. I remember it was like that prior to my last surgery. I was so uncomfortable that I didn't feel picking up after myself, making the bed, etc. So this morning I...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    I believe I will have this same experience. Knowledge is a wonderful thing. And though each knee is different, at least this time, I won't be so surprised by the swelling, for example. I also understand that healing just takes time. It's been 11 months since my last surgery and my knee feels...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    I'm pretty calm about my upcoming surgery. It helps that Ive been thru it before. I'm not looking forward to those initial days of healing and all the swelling. But this time I KNOW not to overdo it. Last time, I was kinda curious about how far I could push the envelope and ocassionally I...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    I'm sorry you're having problems with your shoulders. I have been having shoulder pain for about 3 months now. I thought it was because of that trainer I had but more and more I am thinking that it is because I was overusing my shoulder to "Hoist" myself up and out of chairs while my knee was...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Hey Everybody, You know, it's a darn shame but I have NEVER been able to easily navigate my way thru the website so eventually I just stopped posting. I don't know why figuring the "new website" has been so hard for me, I'm really a pretty smart person:) Anyway, one of the beautiful things...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Yes, that's a lot of surgery to contemplate. At first I thought my shoulder pain resulted from working with an over-zealous trainer at the gym but the more I think about it, I probably have damaged my shoulder "hoisting" myself up while dealing with these knees. The thing that will get us both...

    I Kneed A Knew Knee

    Although I am grateful for a solution to this pain, I was feeling a little bummed out that I have to undergo yet another major surgery. At the end of the visit, my doctor said something that made me laugh out loud. He said, "Well, let's just thank God that you don't have anymore legs!" That...
