I just got back from the OS and I do not have to go back for three years. He was amazed by my recovery I can bend my knee about 180 i can touch my butt. He told me that not many people get past 120 he said he wanted to put me out front as the poster person for TKRs. I truly only had eight sessions of pt and that was it. I did go into the pool everyday in the summer and exercise but I was not that faithful with my exercising my quads are strong and back to normal. I can do everything I couldn't do last year. I decorated myself and that was going up and down the cellar steps with boxes and climbing on chairs. I can run up and down stairs no problem and I even went sledding with the kids. I played in the snow with the kids and had a blast it is so nice to have my life back. It is to the point that I have forgotten that I had a TKR My husband has to remind me to be careful on the ice because I forget.I am happy I had this done and glad it is over. I have my life back and it feels great. I can finally walk my regular exercise walk with no pain and even push the carriage without pain. I can go as far and fast as I did before I had my TKR. This board was very helpful to me I am happy I found it. Thanks for all the help and information. I will keep reading the posts and wish everyone that is waiting for a TKR or has had a TKR good luck and a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy Healthy New Year to everyone. Lyn
