    TKR Dem Dry Bones

    Hi Janae and other may marvels. I had my right knee done on May 29th so I've just passed 2 weeks. I had my left knee replaced on Dec 17, 2012. My first surgery I didn't know what to expect so I think I did well recovering. I had 10 weeks of pt twice a week. This time around boy oh boy. I've had...

    I am home and icing elevating and resting. Am taking 2 5/325 tablets of roxicet every 4 hours but the pain relief is only lasting about 3 hours. So far I am having much more pain and difficulty of moving around than with my left knee in Dec. I had the same surgeon but this time he didn't put in...

    Right TKR in the morning at 7:30 with curtain call at 5:30 am. To be honest I am feeling very anxious as the last few weeks have been hard. My husband and twin son and daughter will be there so I will be happy to see them when I get back to my room.

    TKR This time I am doing it right and having a blast

    Thanks Tashia, It's nice to know the people on here get me. I mean they all have similar stories with their knees but it goes much further than that. I know when I can't sleep there is always some one here to read about and it helps me know that I will get through this all.

    Hi to everyone, I am getting ready for my next RTKR on May 29th. Just trying to keep my anxiety down. My dad is now in ICU in New Mexico with pneumonia, sepsis, and failing kidneys. The dr told my brother today that this will be his last chance at a recovery. But he has surprised us all in the...

    Hi to all of you. I had a milestone today. I figured only you all would appreciate my excitement. I was able to walk up and down 2 full flights of stairs one foot at a time at my gym today. I haven't been able to do that in more than 15 years. The only bummer is my RTKR is 8 weeks from today...
