@rex Welcome to BoneSmart! Afraid we can't help you in the "helper" department but there is plenty of information and support here. Start with the recovery threads. You will find lots of members happy with their new knees.
I'll get you enrolled in the January group. It's a comfort to go through this with others.
Meanwhile why don't you tell us what you are most nervous about. Plenty of members have been on this journey and they may have some tips on coping.
And if you want to picture what your life might be like with a replaced knee, take a look at the posts and threads from other BoneSmarties provided in this link: Stories of amazing knee recoveries
And this is the approach to recovery that we recommend: Knee Recovery: The Guidelines
1. Don’t worry: Your body will heal all by itself. Relax, let it, don't try and hurry it, don’t worry about any symptoms now, they are almost certainly temporary
2. Control discomfort:
We try to keep the forum a positive and safe place for our members to talk about their questions or concerns and to report successes with their joint replacement surgery.
While members may create as many threads as they like in the majority of BoneSmart’s forums, we ask that each member have only One Recovery Thread. This policy makes it easier to go back and review the member’s history before providing advice, so please post any updates or questions you have right here in this thread.
