I'm happy to report back that I went to PT today and talked with the therapist. He was very attentive and caring. When I told him I thought it was from his pushing down on my knee - he immediately said "we won't do that anymore!" Today he did mostly soft tissue massage and only one simple...

Hi everyone! So I was at PT yesterday. I'm still having such a hard time (I didn't expect to be healed at this point, but didn't expect to be having such a hard time). I'd actually thought I'd been doing better the couple weeks. I'd begun to hold my leg straight instead of out to the side when...

Hi everyone, I had my TKR on August 9. I'm still using my walker. I've tried the cane, but it isn't successful. Has anyone else still been using their walker 5.5 weeks after surgery? It's getting discouraging. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

L1F, W.Thank you Josephine!!

Thank you, Layla.

Hi everyone, I had my second THR on May 18. I'm having pain in a specific area, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I've attached a photo and marked the area with 2 coins. This didn't happen with my first. Thank you!

After I last posted, things got dark. I felt so depressed and not much good for much - other than a drain on my husband. I do suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD, so I somehow thought I could miss that part of the recovery since I've "been there and done that". I did a lot of crying and...

Just an update on my end. Five days out, I'm feeling mostly just energized and a general sense of it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. Yesterday I even thought the gall bladder removal might be a worse sugery than this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning date night or anything - I'm just...

Go Nana, go!! I'm still over here rooting for you!!!

Thanks for the love everyone and thanks for checking in this morning, @Cynthia777. Here's my story while it's still kind of in my still slightly foggy mind. We arrived at 10:15 as requested. Nothing happpened until almost 2pm. And the nice volunteers in the surgery waiting room were baking fresh...

I am so glad to read about your experiences and that we've arrrived here on the other side! Glad to be here with you. I hope today is gentle with us.

24 hours ago, I was in pre-op. Now I'm packing my bag and getting my discharge papers. I can't get my head around what a day it's been, but I am not complaining. Feelings of gratitude for sure.

All is okay Done and resting. More later friends. *who by by has the pizza delivery number?!

I've had you in my thoughts today. I hope you are doing okay and that we see you soon!

Or at least I will be tomorrow. Check in is at 10:15 AM. See y'all on the good side! :yes!:

@NAUTIQUE and @MetEish - I'll take this opportunity to wish you both the best of the best in the upcoming days as I may or not be alert enough to speak to you beforehand. Blessings of comfort, peace and wisdom for the team are yours.

Duly noted. My apologies. I must have missed that in the rules. It's just a way I express myself. I'm not even on twitter, but again - got it. @Josephine

Nana, you are on my mind and in my heart today and tomorrow (and more). I pray for you, your team and your husband. I am so pleased for you - that tomorrow is your big day. May you carry all our blessings with you as you embark on this next part of the journey, Nana. And to chime in on the...

Thank you all for reaching out in the past day. It means a whole lot to me, to know there's folks who are most likely to understand the mental part of this. I'm happy to say I went to cardiologist today, and after a few simple questions, he wrote a note clearing me for surgery. Barring any...
