    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    @benne68, What a great idea!! I will take your advice and keep a progress journal. Thank you so much!! I admit to becoming overwhelmed at times by the entire recovery process. There is so much that goes into it, besides the obvious physical aspects. Great idea! Thanks again!!! Best regards …

    @sistersinhim (I love your kitty! I have three, all strays that I trapped, had neutered and socialized. They are grateful and paid close attention to me in the earliest weeks of my recovery.) Thank you for your encouraging words. I am very good at being hard on myself. I will say that my PTs...

    @benne68 Hi! Thank you for your encouraging response! Yes, I’m hard on myself, but very understanding of others’ pain, physical and emotional. I need to be kinder to myself, and I appreciate your kindness so much. Thank you! Best regards … (It is so hard for me to not sign my name. I...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    Hi @Layla! How are you? Yes, I went through with the knee replacement of my right knee and I’m now almost six weeks post op. It’s going fine. I’ve learned that every knee replacement is different. It’s a bit weird to me to learn that. This one is more painful than the revision and I get scared...

    @Jamie I am so sorry for your pain. Glad you’re working with a therapist who can offer some relief. Have you tried acupuncture? My father in law had severe arthritis in his hands, which were bent and gnarled. After a year of acupuncture, his fingers were straight and free from pain, as I recall...

    Hi @Jamie. Thank you so much for your compassionate and logical response. It’s very helpful. My heart and head are in the age old battle of what to do next. Your response is helping me clarify my decision and giving me hope when I’m feeling hopeless. The liver test threw me for a loop as did the...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    Hi. So nice to see your messages and well wishes. I’ve been away from the forum, in a funk. I had to stop PT and the gym as the pain in my nonsurgical knee impeded me from doing anything. I’m scheduled to have it replaced on June 6 and am having reservations and fear. I was just diagnosed...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    Hi @Layla. How are you? Thank you so much for checking in with me. I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I’m doing ok. My surgical (left) knee is feeling so much better than at any time during my recovery from the first replacement. Unhappily for me, my right knee is deteriorating and taking my...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    @Jamie So sorry for not responding sooner. This got buried in my email. Thank you again for your continuing support. Written affirmations might be a good idea, reminders that I’m doing ok. Currently, I’m doing well. My PT is impressed with my flexión and extension and he says I’m walking...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    @Jamie If I embroidered, I’d embroider your encouraging and explanatory message on a sampler and hang it in my bedroom. I’m great at giving everyone else grace, just not myself. Time is my enemy. I’m so impatient. Yes, thank goodness joints can be fixed. I have to remember what my body has been...

    Revision TKR Tibia fracture after TKR

    @sistersinhim Oof! I broke my foot a number of years ago and wore a boot for eight weeks. No fun. I will wear an orthotic, for sure, if it will help. I guess I’ll have to get accustomed to wearing shoes at all times, if it comes to that. I hope that PT will help and so will getting my other knee...
