    TKR Viver45 has reached the Other Side (LTKR 3/19/12)

    It has been some time since I posted. I'm back at work 3 full days a week - alternating days and worked from home the other 2. I tried 2 back to back days last week (along with working on computer upgrades night 1) - WAY too much for me. I could not sleep that night at all, then had to be in...

    YAK (Yet Another Knee)

    John, welcome! Driving at 4 weeks with a stick? Depends on each person - I drive an automatic and finally started with small trips 5 weeks out. Is there any way you can work from home until you are ready to start to work? I would then suggest you think about a gradual return to work. I'm 2...

    PKR Piglet - 14th May 2012 - back home

    Piglet, Welcome to the "other side" - Congrats on your new knee! Sounds like you are doing quite well. I really remember those leg lifts those first days - I felt like I really accomplished something if I got my leg off of the bed ever so slightly!!!! It does get better - I'm just 2 months...

    TKR 2 days post op

    Keya, Welcome to the other side. Believe me, every day does get better!! Are you still in the hospital? If so, let the nursing staff know you are in pain. They can help you get your pain under control. You may need to ask for your pain meds - at some hospitals that is the way they do it...

    TKR Not A Walk In The Park

    Welcome to the other side. Sorry you aren't feeling very well. I would contact my doctor about the hot/cold, sick feeling, etc. could be from the meds. You will be tired - remember what your body just went through - MAJOR surgery. Glad to hear you are up and walking some at least - just try...

    ACK! OMG! I’ve scheduled surgery

    Probably best not to read the "other side" just yet - just remember there are more individuals on the other side with positive results (me for one). I was suprised to see your doctor releases the next day - it is just interesting to see how each doctor does things. Each person is...

    Piglet - welcome home and congrats on your new knee. Sounds like you are doing really well. Shower on second day - they would not let me shower for 2 weeks and 1 day - had to wait for staples to be taken out. "sink" baths is what I had and my husband would wash my hair for me. I was so happy...

    TKR Jancat's story

    Jan, so sorry to hear you didn't have a good day. If you really think back - you will realize you may have done more than you think you have. Just sitting in the car takes quite a bit out of you, getting in and out of the car for a few "quick" trips do too. Like BJ said - take care of...
