Today celebrates 1 year after surgery,
looking back at my earlier posts what a rollercoaster of a ride the earlier days were,
however with the help of all the BoneSmart crew and virtual friends whom helped me enormously in my recovery, I can honestly say it was the BEST decision I ever made having my knee replaced.
My life now is back to normality, infact my operated knee is now the stronger of the two, I no longer have pain and I am now able to manage the stairs normally both going up and gojng down and walk endlessly whilst shopping or out with my dogs
My initial worrisome "click" is still present, on the whole I choose to ignore it, but from time to time it makes it's presence known however it's now just a noise and hopefully one day it will be gone but if not - such is life.
I haven't mastered the art of kneeling, it is a task I avoid, I've tried several times on different surfaces both hard and soft and neither were a pleasant experience, ( it's a great excuse not to have to look under beds etc
)
I sleep extremely well, (probably far too much)
and have no discomfort upon waking.
I know in time my other knee will need to be replaced, but in the meantime I will enjoy my new found freedom.
I hope others reading my post will see some Light at the end of the tunnel. No two knees are the same and no recoveries either, some take longer ( depending on the state of the knee prior to surgery/weight/age etc etc) others faster. I believe having a positive attitude, using good old common sense and following the BoneSmart guidelines gets us greater results in the end.
Having recently been asked would I do it again " Hell Yes in a flash"
So my heartfelt Thanks to you all for getting me this far xxx
