    I am not still doing them...I just started doing them again as part of a challenge I am doing with my walking friends. I don't go to the gym...I was using my rowing machine over the winter months but had to stop when I shattered my humerus bone in my upper arm in an unfortunate accident at...

    Hi Chris, I thought we could only have one recovery thread and it would be nice to continue the original one....if possible. Thanks!

    I have just started doing the squats in the past two weeks. I don't have pain...just the stiffness that has been with me since my surgeries...I will back off from them and see if it improves. :)

    Hi @Josephine Thanks for your concern, I feel great except for the occasional stiffness and do not feel like I am overdoing it. It has been a long haul to get to this stage and I would not recommend this activity to someone that is new to TKRs but it has been two years since mine. I do wish...

    Hi @Celle Thanks for the note. Happy to hear that you are doing well and that you rarely think of your knees. Downsizing is a big job but I am looking forward to it!

    I bought the St. Joseph statue and buried him in the yard. Will look forward to some good vibes and a positive outcome!

    Hi @Pumpkln You are the third person that recommended the Statue to me...I must try it. I found it a little corny and sacrilegious but it seems to work for others...I have nothing to lose. What's new with you? Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Hi! It has been a while since I have posted. I see a couple of my original recovery buddies are still active... @Pumpkln, @Nana moon 27, @Celle but I see a lot have dropped off. Hope everyone is doing well! This month marks my 2nd anniversary with my new knees....I still have some stiff days...

    Hi @Ellejay Great update! Sounds like you are very active and loving pain-free life. So happy for you! Are you able to kneel? I still have too much pain to do so. And I would be afraid that I could not get back up. :heehee: Happy to hear you are on the bike. I use my exercise bike but I have...

    Hi @IrishMike, I understand about not giving updates. I found I was repeating myself and focussing more on what wasn't going right so I focussed on the physio and just getting better. I do a lot of walking but my fitness level has decreased significantly in the past two years. The year before...

    You must be getting so excited about your upcoming nuptials! When people ask me how I made it to 25 years with my hubby, my answer is always "zero expectations". It's worked so far! :snork: Wishing you all the best. I expect it will be an awesome day for you! xox
