So I'm 4 months post single TKR and I realized from reading the posts that
I'm no longer in a good position to offer advice to knee replacement folks
cause its hard to remember what I felt like in the dog days of the replacement.
On one hand there are so many people who are hanging around here a month
in front of where I am/was who were invaluable and I consider great friends.
On the other hand I read the posts from the people about sleeping/ROM/pain management/
PT and I think I remember that but it doesn't govern my life anymore. My knee
isn't perfect but its a lot better than it was preop. I'm glad I did it but now I think
about things other than knees.
So on one hand I'm feeling useless to a lot of you folks who are thinking or have just
done the big nasty. On the other hand I feel like a role model for reaching a point
where your life is not governed by how much pain and stiffness will be in your knee
tomorrow.
I hope this makes sense but this is also what a good bottle of Oregon Pinot
does to you.
