    TKR Let the Recovery and Rehab begin

    Thank you, Layla. Last Tuesday was my 4-week follow-up visit. Everything is coming along, but still lots of ups and downs depending on how much I do. Sleep is still tough to come by, but getting better. My flexion was 110 and my extension was 5; which is great considering my extension was 12...

    I had my left knee replaced today and everything seemed to go well. The spinal was painless and I was surprised at how quickly I was awake after the surgery. I had to drink a lot of water and coffee to go to the bathroom so I could leave the surgical center; I'm sure that will catch up to me...
