    Revision TKR My left knee story, revision complete 8/14/12, hopeful

    Silver linings, I guess. Sorry that you're so read so thin, otherwise. Hope things went okay today.

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Thanks, Dawn. I'm mostly okay, pain-wise. As you say, frustrated by the wait...another few days yet. I've got four lovely little stitches in the back of my hand, which sure is a lot less than the knees had! (Or the 51 staples with my last wrist surgery). It's rather stiff, but I am able to...

    Revision TKR Story of My Knees by RestAssured: Pt 3

    Hi Sonja! Sorry I've been out of touch for a while. Glad the end is in sight for your course...a long haul. And with some luck, the tendon release may mean the end is in sight for your slipping kneecap problem too. I sure hope so! Best wishes,

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Not going to talk knees. Had my wrist scope on July 2. Before the op, dr sounded a bit pessimistic. Said if he could fix the one ligament, at least, there'd be an incision on the side of the wrist. I don't feel anything there under the bulky dressing, so I guess that was a no-go. Two weeks...

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Hi everyone. Just popping by to say hello. My one knee is doing so well, I don't even have to give it any thought. The other, my first TKR, is not quite as perfect, still hurts and I wish it didn't. But I'm doing okay. Still get lots of comments about how well I'm walking now, and how...

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Oh my goodness! Didn't realize how long since I've visited. Having a sleepless night as in those post-op months. On the whole, I'm doing very well. I guess that's why I've been absent from here. Knees are starting to get sore more than I'd like, but the merest fraction of how things were in...

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Hi all. Happy Easter! Interesting week. First, I saw a sports medicine doctor about my hip, and she says I have gluteus mediums tendinopathy. I feel better just knowing someone knows what's wrong. So a bit of physio for that, more work at home, and of that doesn't work, some icky sounding...

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    Hi all, Back to full time at work. Exhausted after the first few, but knees are holding their own. I guess it's the tiredness and the nastiness, but my mood ain't what it was last post. But it will be again. Looks like wrist surgery probably in late June. The first is a look-see, the...

    Scared out of my wits

    Oh, I'm overly sensitive on some things too. But when I saw colleagues getting letters, and how it was all so petty and upsetting to everyone, it made me realize it really wasn't about me. This time. Those tough shells, unfortunately, come at a price.

    Scared out of my wits

    Hi Glad2bhear, Sonja is a great inspiration; she's been there for so many of us. Now we too are here for you. In my job too I have been harassed and bullied. But being back and being able to walk circles (okay, circle) around them is kind of fun. I too work in a system which puts letters in...

    TKR Finally recovering

    I love it, Buddhabear! I've wondered about it, but haven't had the courage to go outside - on the ice yet! - to test it out. I'm happy now that I can do stairs. I can walk faster than I used to. I just see myself as the noble one who gasps to her friends, "go, save yourself." :whistle: It...

    TKR Finally recovering

    Buddhabear, Hello. I've just read your thread. I'm sorry things are so rotten at times, but I think you are very right about the pain-depression link. I've been there and still make visits from time to time. Like you, I've learned to cherish and focus on those moments without pain. Even...

    TKR Woohoo! Now I've got two!!

    A quick update: My knees are almost a source of joy. I am doing things, little things that most people wouldn't even notice, that I haven't been able to do in...forever. At work, I return to full-time on Monday after a month-long graduated return at 2/3. The nastiness there continues in full...
