    TKR Right TKR, six months post op

    @Marytee ee Stay strong. It will get better. I retired in 2016. It took many surgeries and 6 years to get walking again. Its the path that God chose for us. I had a total right knee raplacement in 2013 and I can kneel, with a pad of course to perform small tasks. It takes time. I feel...

    THR Antibiotics after THR for dental work

    I just had aa Ballon Plasty last week ( 06 Fec 24 ) as well as a Turbinate reduction. Both nostrils. I had to take 4 Amoxy before the procedure, and was on 3 a day for 10 days. I take 4 amoxy before any procedure that could put an unwanted infection in my blood stream.

    @DOCCUKE Your not whining at all. Pitty parties are for rebuilding. Its all part of the process. I had plenty of them. The main thing is we take the hit and keep getting back up!!!

    @Layla I’m sorry it’s a work out term. Meaning work it hard. I was back to work in a squad car in 4.5 months. I always go full steam ahead. But everybody must work at their own pace comfortably. It’s been 10 years since my TRKR. It took a bit of a hit from my left hip problem. Keep on...

    Thank you Mojo. It’s been a humbling experience. I’m still trying to figure out what I was supposed to learn from it. I feel for those battling an infection or upcoming revision. Pray and keep positive.

    Thank you layla... The funny part about walking with my Granddaughter is we had the same waddle while walking. You can tell the left leg took the hit. It turns in. But I'mon the right side of the daisys and thats all that matters.
