We want so bad to be "normal" and think that our recovery should be easy.
I was told by an OS two days ago that after a full revsion which I will have to have in the very near future that I should be able to go back to my part time job in 3-4 weeks.
Can you imagine?
I remember what shape I was in when the original TKR was done almost 10 years ago and I was no where near ready to go back to work even part time.
I went back to my full time job part time after 10 weeks for 2 weeks and then full time and it was still not easy and I had a sedentary job.
These things are not easy on us and they do take a toll and are hard at least it was on me and I'm 10 years older now and not looking at all forward to any of it.
Wish you well, take your time, don't be in a hurry.
Try to deal with your pain the best way you can.
Rest often.
