    Revised PKR to TKR On the other side - AGAIN!

    Saw the OS today and was discharged, and told to go back anytime if needed. Says another 6 months recovery, which we all know very well. Extension good, said I might get another 10’ flexion, but I still have full function, and that a full knee replacement never has quite as much flexion. Talked...

    Revised PKR to TKR On the other side - AGAIN!

    Thanks all it’s ALL chairs, and I’m a great fan of the disabled toilets when out and about. Still have raised sets at home. Plus rocking makes no difference. I’ve had moving and handling training for years so I find it a tad ironic I’m stuck using my arms. Been like this since before the ops...

    It’s still very early days and and you’ll find what works for you, it took me about 3 w before I could sit in the front, I too prefer the back seat with the leg raised. Little outings are great for the spirits.
