    Five Weeks Post Op

    Yesterday, my PT told me that it looked like my surgical leg had better extension than my non-surgical leg! I also despise heel slides. I was doing them on the bed and then I discovered it was much easier to do them stretched out on our leather couch. The slippery surface makes it so much...

    TKR Home Sweet Home

    I've had the best two days! Eventhough I was in some pain yesterday (probably from overdoing things the day before), my PT and I went for a walk outside with the walker! About 100 feet in the sunny, cold, fresh air. It felt great! I then iced, elevated and took a two hour nap! Feeling much...

    TKR My Knee is 12 days old.

    Hi dutch0786 My knee is two weeks old today also! Everybody proceeds at their own pace. Before surgery, I thought that a friend of a friend of mine who had had tkr, was being snotty towards me when she said that she couldn't predict how I'd do afterwards since she didn't really know me or what...

    TKR Home Sweet Home

    Thanks, @DogLoverx3 and @NuNe4Me Today was a better day! The med for the oral thrush is working. It's no wonder I was feeling additionally lousy! Prune juice and colace have become my best friends. And I finally have an appetite. Tonight I made an online grocery order for delivery and loaded it...

    TKR Home Sweet Home

    A week since surgery. Came home on the 5th day. While in the hospital my non-surgical leg became numb from the epidural line. When that was removed, I began to have feeling again. But it set me back for day. And then my oxygen level was low--but, managed to get that up. But that also delayed my...

    TKR Home Sweet Home

    Five days after surgery, I'm home! Great hospital care, spectacular view from my room--but, it doesn't compare to being home! Had a couple of glitches, all seems well now. I'll make a fuller report in a day or so. I just wanted to start a thread so it will be there when it's ready. I'm...

    Got the call

    After midnight here. So this is the day! Feeling fairly calm but not calm enough to sleep. Will find something silly on Netflix to watch. I'll welcome the IV sedation later today. LOL @Tiger Fan How are you doing tonight?

    Got the call

    @Tiger Fan You'll be finished when mine is beginning tomorrow! Surgery scheduled for 10:45. I have to be at the hospital 3 hours earlier. Very glad that I don't have to sit around and fret all day. (I have the entire night for that!)

    2 Days Away

    Thanks, @VancouverUSAgal I can't believe tomorrow is the day! Today I plan to keep somewhat busy at a relaxed pace. I know I'll be jumping every time the phone rings in hope that it's the hospital calling with the time to report tomorrow.

    TKR It don't take much!

    I'll be keeping my eye on this thread since having sciatic pain is something that concerns me post-op. (TKR will be done in two days--March 6th.) About two months ago, I had a horrible sciatica flare-up on the side that will be operated on. I couldn't walk. Long story short, my OS ordered a...

    2 Days Away

    Waiting with you @Tiger Fan since I'm March 6th also. I can hardly believe it's almost time. I was supposed to go to a Paul Simon / Sting concert tonight but decided it wouldn't be best so be around so many people and their germs. I had my hair cut last week. Told my hairdresser I needed it...

    TKR I'm 2 years out - Hooray

    @susanne Thanks! I'll be at Hospital for Special Surgery. And how about sitting in (getting up from) those itty bitty pre-school chairs for doing something to our knees?! I've done a lot of pre-school observations for the turning 5's and rarely ever sat in an adult-sized chair. Ouch!
