Hi all,
Just thought I would report in. I will be 6 months post RTKR tomorrow! Things are going REALLY well. Most days I don't even think about my knee. In fact,
my knee FINALLY loosened up December 4th! When I woke up and moved my leg, I knew right away that something was different! I actually marked that day on my calendar! Now only very minor stiffness when I have been sitting for awhile (especially at work). WOW, to be able to just get up and get moving is a real blessing! No problems with stairs or chairs! It feels so good to have my life back! I was thinking back to this time last year, and how much pain I was in. Being stubborn and thinking that it would get better by itself. HAH! I have NEVER regretted this surgery and all that hard work was WORTH IT!
My left knee has been doing better. Hopefully I will be able to wait until next fall to have it replaced. I have my 6 month checkup coming up and I can't
wait to see what the doc thinks. Hope all had a wonderful holiday. I wish all of you a happy new year! To all of you who are at the start of their journey hang in there and remember to be patient. It takes time and hard work.
But the payday is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thanks to you Jo and all the others who were there to help me through this.
Take care!
