I hope everyone during this time of year can find comfort in the fact that in time things will get better for them. I have days that I feel blue and depressed about this whole tkr situation today seems to be one of them. But reading over other peoples postings, I realize yes, it's been almost 6 months but I need to look how far I've come. Like I said earlier, I don't consider myself a 100%, maybe 50%, but at 3/4 months maybe 20-25%, so progress is coming, but it is slow and at time painful and frustrating. For all of you just starting down the road, take it day by day. Just do your best for today, don't let p/t and surgeons dim your own feelings of success of this recovery process, because in the beginning when were feeling so defeated often p/t or a surgeon will chime in an say where not doing enough to help ourselves recover. Stay positive, follow your gut instincts, and we will all see that light at the end of the tunnel. As much as this is the time of year that being held up inside isn't so bad, because of the winter weather, it's also a time of year that produces SAD and more depression, with the holidays and such. Just want all of you out there and to remind myself that this is a long process, but a temporary process over the course of time, and to hang in there.
