I mostly work from home and am hoping to be able to work during my third week post op. Am I nuts and totally unrealistic?
In the early days of recovery, your body is eating up oodles of energy and sending it toward the healing of the surgical knee.But I was very tired the first couple of weeks.
I learned how quickly my muscles atrophied after surgery---I really had to gently and slowly work on building strength, stamina, and ROM after my BTKR.Hopefully my muscles are still strong enough to make recovery a little easier.
Time to buy a good bike---or three!i like your pic of running. I've run 15 years a lot of 1/2 marathons and 2 marathons.
But after getting my tkr I'm going to just watch others run so my new knee can last a long time
Just might be able to answe rthat question if we knew what your job is! Otherwise we're a tad in teh dark!I mostly work from home and am hoping to be able to work during my third week post op. Am I nuts and totally unrealistic?
That doesn't factor in, I'm afraid. It's popularly supposed that it does but like so many other little whimsies like this, it's all myth!Hopefully my muscles are still strong enough to make recovery a little easier.
