    Thank you Layla. The two months went by quickly. The Holidays were amazing because "unfortunately" I could not do much, lol. Physio is done, and that is great because we are getting snow now. On Sunday, I went sledding. It was not me on the sled, it was a 5 year old child, and my husband was...

    On Tuesday I had my 5 week appointment with the surgeon. He watched me walk without a cane and he checked my ROM. He was pleased and said I could do what I want now. That includes having baths. My physiotherapy will end next week. However, I am still having problems with my "quads". I cannot...

    I can't even imagine having to go through all this with a deadline looming. Going to work would just be impossible. At what age can you retire without losing part of your pension? We are fortunate that we are free of responsibilities. If my husband wasn't retired, I would somehow have to cope on...

    I have to admit that I don't know where my quads are, but I am learning. At physio I was told that my hamstring is too tight and too short. Working on that.

    Thank you for all the support! Today, I went to physio again, twice a week right now. I told them that the surgeon said that I cannot straighten my leg enough. The therapist put me through some exercises. For the first time, I was able to do use the incumbent exercise bike for complete turns...

    I had some time been reading reports on this forum. The most important thing I learned is that everyone's journey is a roller coaster. We are just all taking different rides. My story started about a year ago when an X-ray of my knees showed bone on bone on the left side. I opted for a...
