Finally,on the other side

:p:p:pHad the surgery last 08/06, everything went well. According to my doctor , he can't believe that I was still walking on that knee. Do to my cronic anemia from the stomach bypass, I had to have a transfussion, but so far everything else is doing well. Went home this Sunday, glad to be home!!!!, I can really say that, I know I am taking pain medication, but the pain on my knee is actually less than what I had before. I will be having PT 3 times a week at home for four weeks, I guess depending on my progress, we will go from there. I would like to thank all of the people that take their time to enter their question and answers here, It has help with my experience a lot!!!!

Good for you! I had my surgery June 4th and I too had to have 3 transfusions. I too am anemic but have been all my life. I think that is one reason I'm a little more tired because my hemogloblin is still low. My surgeon said no. I had both my knees replaced. I wish you all the best in your recovery!
