TKR Bone Spur's recovery thread^

[Benay]

So interesting to read all the different recovery stories, I especially like your's @Bone Spur .

 

[Bone Spur]

Please understand that I think I am an anomaly in regards to my recovery. Don't take my results and compare them to yours. Everyone is different and have different circumstances. There are different doctors, procedures, and hospitals so results will vary. Just keep working hard on the plan your doctor or PT has given you. Best wishes on your recovery.

 

[Benay]

Thank you.

@julieskan please keep me updated on your progress.

@Bone Spur I think it's great that you get to be an anomaly and not suffer any more than you have to. After having 7 previous surgeries on my right knee, we knew to expect nothing simple or fast--not just surgically but also in terms of PT/rehab and range of motion. We are all so different, and I think it's wonderful everyone doesn't suffer endlessly or take forever to return to normal activities.

@Bone Spur - you going to answer my questions? Pwease?
If you've changed your mind, that's okay - but just let me know one way or the other.

 

[Bone Spur]

@Josephine I am not sure how to answer your questions. I will work on it.

Let me know if this is what you want to know.

Josephine will want each of your exercises listed and how many of those you are doing. You need to do those in a list and not in a paragraph.

It sounds like you are doing super for 9 days out!

 

[Josephine]

Also taking Tylenol when I get achy

I did ask for the dose

5. Icing twice a day
6. Elevating every time I sit down

I also asked how long you were icing.elevating

8.During all exercises I was assigned at the hospital

And yes, I do need all the exercises listed, how many times you are doing each one and how many times a day you are doing them both at home and at PT.

 

[Bone Spur]

Okay. I will get all of that back to you. Sorry for the delay.
