    Calling All Partials: How are months 2-6 for you?

    Thanks for sharing where you are with your partial. Although my surgery was a few weeks before yours I do not think even now I would be going back to work and with standing,prepping and being up each day to meet all of the student's needs would be pretty draining now. I hope your doctor is...

    TKR Almost 8 months later...the aftermath

    @Karringtyn You are indeed living proof that a picture is worth a thousand words. Your smile, the balance and the "can do" attitude are all an inspiration to everyone. Way to go Karringtyn!! Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart®

    THR Psychteach is ready to move on to the other side

    With five months on Bone smart before your surgery you are all set. At the stage you are at I felt like I had been waiting to get on a roller coaster ride. Now you are all set, your ticket is purchased, you have standing in line and everyone is here to help you through. Take care and wishing you...

    Josephine How long have the partials been lasting that you have been tracking? Are most of those on your list pleased they went with a partial first in place of a total? Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart®

    That is not crazy, as if truth be told I think that was a common thought to be careful for fear they would pop even though you know that probably would not happen. Anyway, it is a good milestone to be able to cross off the lists that you accomplished having had your strapless removed. Sent...

    71Beetle With regard to your staples being removed the timing of your appointment is when most of us seem to have had them taken out. It feels good when they are out and healed..more comfortable feeling in general and the thought that this one more milestone that you have reached. You are on...

    PKR Mai5ie is finally on the other side!!!!

    71beetle The first few weeks it is surprising how helpful it is to have support so it is easy to understand your being concerned when your husband is in the hunting trip. Hopefully if you can have enough meals in and ice made (maybe a cooler close at hand) that will save you some steps and...

    PKR Mai5ie is finally on the other side!!!!

    Lori107 Are you finding that you have some aching as you transition off of your crutches/cane? It seemed to me moving from the walker to the cane for the first few days causes renewed pain and then transitioning from the cane to walking without assistance causes some pain for awhile, My PT said...

    PKR Mai5ie is finally on the other side!!!!

    @71Beetle, Lori explained the first weeks well. Although we all progress at different rates the thing that we all have in common is the up and downs of recovery and sleepless nights. You will have a positive to look forward to after your second knee in July and your recovery. You can have your...

    Oh my, that must have been frightening when your son passed out but so fortunate your other son was there to help with getting him up. I hope each day finds him getting stronger and recovering from his surgery. As for you, way to go with working your PT and transferring off of your cane for...

    PKR 15 months out, I have a problem...

    Claribel welcome, in answer to your question, I too worried when there was pain in that region with my recovery from a partial. As the injured tissues and corresponding swelling went down things seemed to be back in place. My PT told me it was not slipping but having an actual full extension of...
