    @AnnYo You definitely have the right attitude to have great success, and being here is a great start! In some ways, having less control over the decision of when to have a replacement (although it is ultimately your decision, I know what you mean) helps, especially when you need that...

    @MSuki - Hello! Good to hear from another November Nimble! I’ll check out your journey as well. @mendogal - Yes, the full revolutions blew me away, I was so excited! Cycling for the win for sure! @AnnYo - In the beginning it is hard to be excited about why you did it, but trust me, a few...

    TKR One week out from surgery

    Since my surgery on November 2nd, I have been doing much better than I had been. I was originally frustrated at the 2-week mark due to the slow improvement in my ROM (compared with my RTKR last year), but after a couple more weeks things starting moving very quickly. My physical therapist put me...

    Yep, and we didn’t even try that today. One of my happiest times after my first knee was doing great was when I could walk up and down stairs almost “like a normal person”.

    Congratulations on your pedaling success! Isn’t it the greatest? My next feat will be going upstairs foot over foot, although we haven’t done that yet (perhaps this week?). Keep up the great work!!

    TKR One week out from surgery

    Yes, I think the right mindset is very much a part of success. I was a little worried just before the surgery just remembering how rough those first couple of weeks are, but then just relaxed and told myself that I can’t recover and enjoy a new knee if I don’t get the surgery out of the way...

    TKR TKR Outpatient?

    I’m also 53. Both of my TKRs (last year and last month) were done as outpatient procedures. My surgeon gave me the option of outpatient or one night in the hospital. He felt I was healthy enough to have that choice. I wasn’t able to have much time off work, and I live with my husband, so I have...

    TKR One week out from surgery

    4 week post-op update. I had PT yesterday and it was great. My knee has been improving at a much faster rate now and I am at 114° flex and 0° straightened! My therapist put me on the bike for the first time and I actually was able to pedal “almost” normally. I had to put my foot far forward...

    TKR One week out from surgery

    Recovery is going well. I am struggling more with this knee than my right one, but I am trying to not compare them as every knee is different. I saw my surgeon on Wednesday and he seemed pleased with my results so far. Dressing and Prineo were removed and my incision looks good. PT is going...

    Thank you! I am hoping for a smooth recovery, and am keeping my eyes on how it will feel in about three months from now to keep me positive. It's good to be back again.

    TKR One week out from surgery

    Hello, I had a left TKR on November 2nd, and am now one week post-op. I started my outpatient PT two days ago and will have my second session today. My therapist that I used for several of my surgeries, including my right TKR last year, retired in January, so I have a new (to me) therapist...
