Glad you didn't break your bum to go with your knees, Lisa! I've been very fearful of falling since I stood up with those femoral blocks in and felt like I had no bones in my legs! I just hit three weeks today and you are going to be shocked at how much you recover in just three weeks! I have miles to go, but I am not dependent on somebody else for everything. I can manage whatever I need, usually, during the day while my husband is at work. The pain is better, too, except for that pesky PT, which flares it all up again. Tomorrow will be a down day for me because PT was very stressful today. I'm amazed at what I'm able to do already, though.
I'm sure you are looking forward to going home and sleeping in your own bed. Just be prepared to not sleep as well as you hope. It seems to be a contagious disease that we catch with the TKRs. You'll be up getting rid of a lot of liquid for a while to come. Even so, it still feels sooooooo good to get into your own bed! Have fun with those stairs. You'll be able to do them, I'm sure.
