Hi all, I had my surgery 8 days ago and I’m finding everything overwhelming. I can’t walk on my own yet and I can’t even get out of bed without assistance.... and I’m lucky if I get 2 hours sleep. I did all my research while waiting for the last 9 months and I knew it wouldn’t be easy but this is challenging. Both my knees were severely damaged so it had to be bilateral, I didn’t want to go through the surgery twice. Everybody has different pain tolerance but I never imagined how this would bring me to my knees. I thought it would be rough for a few months but it’s 24/7, all consuming! I hope to get to the part where I see the benefits but now all I feel is pain and desperation.
I have found a lot of helpful information on this site so I need to keep focused. I guess I’m just wondering if anybody else is having a rough time as well and what gets you through the days and nights.
