    TKR LTKR on Nov4

    Ugh. Can’t sleep. Again. I think the implant slowly releases caffeine haha. Yesterday I tried the bike at home. Couldn’t do it so I just went back and forth a little. I was trying to figure out how I was sitting at home compared to at pt and I realized if I put a pillow under me, it might...

    I’m doing ok. Good days, bad days. Still at PT, taking it easy. I’m at 100 right now which I’m happy about. Good day this week was at PT, I warmed up on the rolator and she said I could try the recumbent bike backward if I wanted. I got all the way around without much struggle. The next day...

    Nope. It was more letting my feet dangle on the side of the table and allowing gravity to work. A few back and forth (really leg up and down) by me and then she measured. The home therapist measured me laying down only so this was different

    First day with Barb. She got me to 90 degrees with a little stretching before. She didn’t over do it which I was happy about. Today was my last day of celebrex. Little afraid.

    It is a pillow that is better than a regular wedge. If you google it, you can see it. I forgot I can’t share links here. Or search for it in the forum, there’s been a lot of discussion about it

    My lounge doctor arrived a little while ago. On my goodness this is so much better than how I had it before. Hopefully I will see some swelling improve but if not, the comfort is worth every cent.

    She was meaning since I felt good, I did too much and now my knee is angry at me. So the stiffness is a normal response for pushing too much

    Staples came out yesterday, pretty uneventful. Not too painful at all. It felt more like a little sting each time that quickly went away. I woke up yesterday feeling really good. Like really good. Walked all over the house keeping busy - stupid things like setting up a new Nest New York scent...

    Once the staples come out, does it help with any sort of tightness feeling when bending?

    Thank you. Yes, I saw that, hence my confusion as I am right between two sizes according to their chart. I went ahead with the medium and measured for comfort like Janet suggested

    Thanks for the welcome! And help! Another question about the lounge doctor. I’m an overweight female that is sometimes 5’4 and sometimes 5’5 depending on the doctors office. What size and weight should I get?

    I had my TKR on Nov4. I need to elevate better than I have been and just read the recommendation for the lounge doctor. If I use a recliner couch, can I use the lounge doctor on it while reclined, feet in front of me while watching tv, reading etc? Can you elevate and ice at the same time? Is it...
