Bilateral TKR Maggie94 tells the story of the Stryker twins

[Blendab1]

Maggie that is fabulous news! I hope you conquer the stairs and build up your confidence so when you go home you will be a pro!

Sorry I have not checked in for a bit but we had another blizzard and presently have about 5 feet of snow here. I have to keep shoveling so the three fur babies have somewhere to do their business. I am really sick of snow and unfortunately there is more coming tomorrow. I think I need to make myself an adult beverage!

 

[Maggie94]

The things you learn on BS...@blendab1 .... Brenda I had never considered the issues of having fur babies in the snow.... WOW having to shovel a bit of space for them. Do they oblige? I train mine to use the spacecat the side of the house.... still boggling my mins with all your snow.
Thanks for well wishes.... yep stairs on the agenda for both hydro and gym☺
Adult drink sounds nice but I have to admit to not even having the faintest hankering for a glass of wine... no prob as its probably best for the hips
Happy shoveling, Maggie x

Three weeks today. Laverne and Shirley line up for a progress pic. No bruising and swelling well under control. Go Girls!!!

Great picture of your knees! I like the name "Laverne and Shirley"!

 

[TexasTee]

Great looking incisions...I wish mine were open to the air. I still have steri strips and the silly things are NOT falling off. You are like me - I have almost no bruising to speak of. Typically I bruise really easily so I was expecting to be black and blue!

 

[vinny]

Go Maggie...looking good

 

[SuperSnapper]

Cool! Your twins look good. I had hardly any bruising too, really surprising.

 

[kaw205]

The knees look great Maggie! Soon, you'll be heading home.Yeah!

 

[Legin]

Doing well lass

 

[Maggie94]

Thanks all. Heading off to hydro now....home on Friday

 

[Awriterafoot]

They look really great, Maggie.

@TexasTee, I washed my steri-strips in the shower with water and they magically came right off! ;)

 

[Maggie94]

Just back from the gym. Stairs stairs and more stairs...up and down plus YEY 5 minutes on the recliner cycle with full revolutions. Another couple of WINS. I is happy

 

[TexasTee]

Yeah! Color me jealous - I only have one and haven't managed to get full revolutions yet! Good for you

@Awriterafoot - I KNOW! I'm showering when I don't need too and these goofy things are NOT coming off. GRRRR
