Hey all just wanted to check in and give yall an update. I am healing very nicely this time around. I do still have alot of pain but nowhere near as bad as it used to be, i actually did physio with very little pain relief yesterday (im almost done with PT). My rom is around 132 bend, still not sure about flexion i still cannot get my leg totally straight some days, but im sure that will eventually come. I did have one setback where i fell flat on my knee on the concrete and had to have an xray done to make sure there was no damage because i hit pretty hard. The doctor said I was very badly bruised but no actual damage thank God.
I have almost totally lost my appetite and that is really worrying me as i know my body needs protein to heal but i cant make myself eat. I am now going thru a divorce and have had to kick my husband out of the house since it was found out that during the times of my surgeries and not being able to care for myself properly let alone anyone else, he had been being abusive towards my youngest son. So on top of trying to heal (with no pain meds as some nice woman thought she had the right to steal my purse) im having to face all this court and cps stuff i guess my anxiety level has been so high i cannot eat at all. I even think about food and i get sick to my stomach.
Its been a rough couple months.
I will be glad when the pain from my fall finally subsides because I know pain plays a role in appetite.
I am walking almost normal with very little limp now, the PT has been working on my gait and balance which is very good since i was down for so long.
Hoping to get back to normal pretty soon

that is wonderful to hear! Hang around here with us. You would really serve as an inspiration to others dealing with problems after their TKR.
