    TKR Left TKR with intra operative fracture

    Thank you @sistersinhim for the insight, glad to hear that if it is a cyst it is manageable. Yes my toes are taped too, it’s funny as growing up we were always told oh it’s a broken toe, nothing can be done and that’s partly why I thought it was silly to go it checked but when I went I was told...

    TKR TKR concerns

    Yikes! I just wanted to say I’m so sorry you were put through that pain and how awful that your doctor and that to you and that your therapist mentioned MUA at such an early stage in your recovery. I’m no expert of course but 80 flexion seems pretty good to me, you only had surgery 20 days ago...

    Thank you all for your thoughts @Legseleven thank you, that is a good idea, I will have to keep a cane in the car in case I need it. @Readabook, that sounds awful! Yes it is amazing how different each and every surgery can be, I have learned just how different from reading other people’s...

    Bilateral PKR On the other side

    My goodness you have been so busy and I definitely don’t envy you all that washing every day! I hadn’t heard of the MRSA nose swab either but at least they are being thorough, I just had the hibiclense routine and clean bedding and clothes the night before. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery ❤️

    Thank you @Layla Four months seem to have both flown by and also seemed excruciatingly slow at times! I had my last therapy session Friday June 5th.

I don’t really have much to update at 16 weeks now, I seem to be in a plateau phase at the moment. I still have therapy twice a week but it is being hinted that Friday might be my last day but that...

    Thank you @FleuveStone Yes it was a cake for 4 year old grandson and I did make it in stages as standing for a fair while is uncomfortable, so I made the cake one day then decorated the next, which was definitely more complicated than it looked online at least he liked it! Definitely going to...
