4 Weeks Out

[Thumper169]

Well im almost at the 4 week mark and im at 110 and 6 on my flex and ext, I just finished walking about 2 miles and its getting better every day and getting my strength and energy back. I just purchased my ice machine and this is a must have for anyone having a TKR, I cant believe the doc didnt tell me to get one in the first place.

I'm also at 4 weeks and walking with a cane for very short distances!!
I wasn't in good shape before though and havent been for many many years. I don't know if I could ever walk a mile or two in my whole lifetime!!

WTG, you are doing great, I cant remember the last time I could even attempt a long walk like that. But 3 days to go before my BTKR, so roll on next Spring. Good Luck with your recovery and keep up the good work. X

Hi --GREAT report. Glad that you are doing so well in your recovery.

At 6 weeks I too have been walking and exercising up a storm. I LOVE to walk now-can't hardly wait each day to begin. No pain and no limp-I'm loving it!!
