TKR Dewey Did It...#1 AND #2

[SAS]

What a great reply, we are not far apart with our ops and you are saying what I think Dewey, the only thing I can do is stairs unless my legs are very tired then it is just one at a time, that only normally occurs late at night. Also, like you my second knee has healed far quicker than the first and I think I am still healing and it can only get better as the months go by. I have tried kneeling I can kneel on one knee for a short period but not the two as of yet, it is a very off feeling as their is a numbness in each knee which will be there forever. The only thing I do not like is getting stopped each time I am flying as the scanner picks up the metal in my knees then I have the performance of a search and the hand scanner put all over my body, but that is a small price to pay.

Enjoy your cruise and walking on the sand with your husband .

What a lovely update @Dewey . So glad you are seeing good results from your surgery. Yahooo to getting on with living!

So good to hear from you, Dewey! Our first knees are "twins" as they were done around the same time. Isn't it great to be able to everything you never thought you could? I tweaked a tendon a couple of months ago line dancing, and I still get twinges from it now and then, but otherwise I'm doing well too. Yay for us! And to those still going through the hard part, it will get better!

@Dewey, your success story is one of the best. It will be an inspiration to those who are in recovery feeling that they'll never get back to "normal". As you now know, a year makes a world of difference, and it continues to get better after that.

Enjoy your new life, and keep us updated. We care.
