HI
I had a TKR on June 23rd I am feeling wonderful and at times forget that I have had it done. I am walking no limp and have great Rom and flex it is just like normal. My question is I only had in home pt the first four weeks of post op. I have not had any pt is this the normal? When I saw my ot for my 4 week he told me to do whatever I wanted and just exercise at home which I have but not every day. At my 8 week all was well and he said do whatever I wanted. I can ride the bike I could at 4 weeks go all the way around anyway so I do do that once in a while. I really have no problem at all it feels normal I only remeber I have had it done when it is going to rain other than that it is fine. I think at times I am a strange case because when I read the posts it seems like everyone is still at pt even at 4 months. I think my attitude before I had it done had a lot to do with it I was very postive and determined to do everything right. Which I did I had no problems at all swelling almost all gone jsut a little at times. I just feel normal again I know at 3 weeks I thought I would never be normal again but I feel normal now.Thanks for listening I just think at times that I am abnormal and should be doing more.
