    TKR Bluejuju's Recovery Thread

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my old friends. Well, first day of snow here in Massachusetts and it is true, the surgeon replaced my old knee with a weather knee. I knew something was coming since my new knee never gives me grief....as a matter of fact, I never feel pain anymore. But...

    Well, hi to all my old friends....i have been following each and every one of your threads closely....but I just had to hop on this coaster ride to tell you about my latest mishap. Took my son to the beach for a few days, and I must say, the knee did quite well- of course I wore my neoprene...

    TKR Bluejuju's Recovery Thread

    I just want to say thank you for all the kind words, the past on the backs and all the support that was given to me through this website. I don't know if my sanity would have held out without you all. I must bid a parting farewell until my next knee... I guess sometime next year. I hope to meet...

    @momweb... Once you start driving again you'll feel like that teenager who just got her license... Making excuses to run out to the store. It really boosted up my morale 100%!!

    MUA Tigz's Lessons in Patience

    Boy, to think we made it this far is amazing.. Isn't it @tigz? I think they give us those strong narcotics in the beginning so we forget just how much pain we had. I was just talking to a friend of mine saying that I think I'll do my other knee in the spring since it wasn't that bad, and she...

    TKR PolarBear60's Stryker Triathalon Journey (Left)

    Boy, those look just like my knees-scar is identical, too. Did you decide when to get your other knee done, Jean? I think I might go around April.. Don't think my right knee can last much longer. Congrats on your outcome... Wasn't it a piece of cake?

    12 weeks and hit 115/0 ROM!!! Never thought i would get there- didn't even hurt, either. PT had me balance on a balance board today... Also said I will be graduating after next week- no more visits- I'm kind of sad ( never thought I would say that)!! The turtle is finally close to the finish...
