New here. Surgery soon

The first few weeks after TKR is the time to be selfish.

Yes---it is all about "you." It is "you time." Do not try to be a hero in the early goings and help out. Heal, rest, and recover. Let others take care of what needs to be done---and, if certain things do not get done, do not worry at all about it.

And taking the time for yourself helps your overall recovery so it's not exactly selfish. You'll be back to action once you're recovered. It all works out.

Don't be in a hurry! Let things settle down and take your time!
