    @Jockette , so glad your ROM continues to improve. Mine was a slow process, but I got there. Just by living life, you know?

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    A friend's knees are severely limiting her activity and she is agonizing over enduring the pain or taking the plunge for replacement. I told her about how much this site helped me through the journey of two knee replacements almost 4 years ago. Thought I would stop by to say hello, and to thank...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Hello Bonesmart buddies! My OS sent me a questionnaire to fill out evaluating my knee and I realize my second knee is two years old today. It seems longer ago than that. I spent my 60th birthday last weekend kayaking on the beautiful Rainbow River here in Florida. Hurricane IRMA tossed lots of...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Saw my OS on Monday, x-rays are great and he says to contact him if I have any problems. I told him that I hope I don't see him for a really long time. He laughed and said he totally understood. In other news, I finally got to meet a bonesmart buddy in person! Had lunch with @celynda this week...

    TKR Rob's Knew Knee

    Yay Rob for your excellent life. So glad you are having such fun. Me too! Getting new knees was one of the best decisions I ever made. Can't believe I gimped along for so long. Life is just too short for that. A year in Recovery is a small price to pay for years and years of high quality life...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Number one knee was a year old last Saturday. I meant to post on the anniversary, but was too busy hunting pokemon. That is one game that gets you out and about. I went kayaking madly in May, and had no trouble getting in and out. I can walk anywhere, for about as far as I want. I went to...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Having a strong cup of coffee this morning, and reflecting on my two new knees. One is 9 months old, and the other is 6 months old. I am drinking strong coffee because today is a big yard work day, as well as the usual weekend flurry of catching up on chores. My knees limited my incentive to do...

    TKR Glamg1979 Has a Brand New Left Knee!!

    My first knee was a miracle of fast healing, and like you I was worried and disappointed that my recovery time with the second knee was a much harder time. Now, knee number one is 9 months old and knee number two is 6 months old. They are both great. You will get through this. And you will be...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Hello, you wonderful bonesmart people! Just wanted to give a quick update. My right knee is now 8 months old and my left knee is 5 months old. Since the beginning of the year I have been working out at the gym 3 times a week. Very gradually I have increased the weights and the reps, and I...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    Raffs, I had inserted my husband's favorite dog's photo on his cell phone as my contact photo, reasoning that every time I called him, the beloved dog's face would appear, and he would have happy feelings about my call. Well, this weekend he insisted that I put a real picture of me on his phone...

    TKR Slainte's Big Adventure

    On my way home from a long weekend away. The 5-hr drive was the longest since my knee replacements and I really should have stopped a couple of times on the way, but I didn't think about it. I was really stiff upon arrival, but all was well after I walked around a bit. Had a great time walking...

    Revision TKR Wberry knee is up<

    More info on this, please. I am good as long as I get up every half hour or so, but if I forget and sit at my desk for a couple of hours, I am so stiff when I get up. I want to know about the tremble and push routine!
