I listened to the opposite of loud, angry-sounding music. When my knee was really bad, we could pull up beside a car with a loud radio with lots of bass and it would actually hurt my knee. I liked easy listening Praise music. I also spent a lot of time reading mysteries to try and get my mind off the pain. Having 13 cats to take care of made me ignore the pain the best I could.
I haven't forgotten how awful this pain was with the surgery. I haven't had the number of surgeries you have, but the kneecap removal recoveries were almost as bad as a TKR. My patella tendons had to be cut and shortened on each knee. It even hurt to move my toes.
No one here is trying to disregard or be callous about your pain. We are only are trying to help. That's why we are here, to try and help. We are all volunteers and spend many hours trying to comfort people going through this awful surgery.
