    Bilateral TKR Mickey & Minnie are looking on the bright side!

    Happy 2yr Birthday to you Jacky. Happy Birthday to @Janet2012, @Debbie_joints. We all were having our little babies (TKR) around the same time. It's been some journey, but well worth it. The days of bone on bone pain, and hardly being able to walk are a distant memory, thank God. There are...

    Hi Janet, long time not talk to. I see you are doing great, those are beautiful pictures. You are the perfect example of what these new knees should do for us. I know I need to get more exercise to help with the stiffness of mine, but on a whole they are doing great. I am not on here looking...

    Hi Jacky, had been awhile since I've been here and when I did could not find you. :umm:Glad to see you back. Hope that toe feels better soon, if it's not one thing its two. My left knee is giving me a fit. Feels like I might have hit it but know that I didn't. Usually just stiff and not...

    Janet, my left knee is my slow child. I was wondering if it was just me, but seems you and Jacky have a slow one also. I does not hurt, just stiff and sometimes very uncomfortable.:sad: My right knee is right there with you at 11 months, but the left one is just 9 months. I am hoping by the...

    Hi Jacky. I have been looking at that floor with anticipation:sorry: every since you told how you could get up and down easily. Well I DID IT!:egypdance: I looked like a seal. I slid down off the chair on the floor, got up on my knees, held onto the couch and pulled up. Did not feel the...

    Jacky, I have images of a beached whale:heehee: when I think of getting on the floor. I think of it every night when I watch tv. I have got to just do it. It is amazing how much thought we put into doing simple things that used to come naturally. Its a mind thing.

    You are so right Jacky. That's exactly why I decided to have TKR, was not ready to just sit down and watch life pass me by. I still have a lot of stiffness in the last knee, but I am expecting it to get better. I am finally not walking with my cane except if planning to walk alot or on uneven...
