United Kingdom@Angel1978 it appears your device isnt running the correct time, can you sync it with the internet?![]()
@angel my ligaments were not supporting the TKR. Due to numerous surgeries ect the ligament was damaged. Its also possible that the femur was over corrected during the TKR making the ligament loose.

United KingdomIts is a hard operation. I became depressed after my TKR and really struggled with recovering. I am hoping im more prepared this time around and accepting of the down days. Stay strong Angel and hopefully we will have good outcomes.

This TKR recovery does not hurry up unless you relax and allow yourself to heal. I'm really pleased you got internet done. Well done @Angel1978, thank goodness you got that sorted.
You are going to have to be patient and at times you will be frustrated beyond frustrated. You may find yourself weepy too. It's all part of this wonderful recovery x x x we are here to help support you as best we can angel x x x x

@Angel1978
Some people don't understand the church community. I've found it's best if I text my friends first rather than wait for them to contact me. Don't let this upset you or get to you x try contacting only the ones you were close to. See if they reply. If not you know you did try x
Ive got friends I've known for more than thirty years. In the time I've had this TKR, then revision I've seen them once. They are so busy with their lives. If I text them they will text back but they don't ever text first. We've all met up once at a mutual friends house. It was lovely but on listening, they're so tied up looking after their grandchildren. That's why I don't hear much from them. Their grandchildren are really young whereas mine are older.
I had my kids very young and became a grandma (they call me nan or nana) at the age of 35. It was hilarious because people would think my grandson was mine!!! On more than one occasion someone's commented about my beautiful children. They are aged between 8 and 19. There are 5. Three boys, two girls. Each of my three kids has a child/children.
I hope this bit of chat has helped take your kind off things for a little while.
Hope your pain gets better. It will sooner or later. It has to. Nature heals us, God will heal us xxx

Glad you have no clot. Hang in there.![]()
Gosh you two do look alike @Angel1978. I'm glad you got in contact with your sis. You look very comfortable together. How often do you get to chat on FB? X
It's nice your nurse gave you a calendar, that will help you track appointments etc. That's what I've had to do too. Your nurse sounds nice. Your OT/PT seem okay. Just make sure you are not hurt by the PT. It will be uncomfortable a bit that's to be expected. We have to get the knee knitted back together all nicely inside. There is a difference between uncomfortable and aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghhh! If you get to the aaaaaaa then ask him to stop. Bad PT can cause more harm, good PT is a blessing.
You made me lol with what you said to your daughter because I used to say that to mine when they were her age. You could guarantee if they did something nice off their own backs it was gonna cost you £££€€€€€$$$$$ In fact, it came the point when they were teenagers, I had to put up a rota of chores. Only easy stuff...but the crafty little whatsits used to pay each other off or swap if there was a particular chore they didn't want to do. It was how they earned their pocket money. Ok I'd have to stamp my foot and yell occasionally to get them moving but they weren't too bad really xx
I couldn't go through those teenage years again at this age. Gosh no way. Worst is my 14 yr old granddaughter who spends a lot of time here, keeps joking but seriously (know what I mean?) saying she's gonna move in. Aaaarrrrggghhh xxx I love her with all my heart but she needs to stay with her family. She/they all love my place cos they say it's so calm, warm and welcoming. They also have their own space here where they can go up, put on a tv and chill.
I do hope you can get that pain under control Angel. You will be fine. I went through a horrible phase very early on in my recovery where I kept saying I wish I'd never had it done. Now, I'm glad I did. Being out of arthritic pain is a relief once the new knee settles down. My other knee has arthritic pain that comes through my strong pain meds x I would hate to find out how that felt without the meds! I'm waiting for that one to be done x x x
Take care Angel. It's 11.30 pm here. I've PT myself in the morning. Trouble is I slept 3hrs solid early evening. Now I'm not tired. I have to switch off iPad for a while. Try to relax if it doesn't work I'll check for posts on here x x x
Love Nana moon 27 xoxox
Oh I. Ever so glad you got a walker. That will help you. That log leg feeling will go eventually x x x like i said before it's just time x x xx
