After my first tkr last fall, I found that returning to work and getting back into the routine of life and out of the recovering full time mode of thinking actually helped me a lot. I was still going to PT the first go round but I've finished up this time. After a 13 hour work day, I will have to find time to go to the gym which can be difficult. I am in no way fully recovered but well enough to get up and go to work. My commute includes walking about 2/3 of a mile each way so that will definitely help my recovery. I have a desk job so will keep my leg elevated a lot and keep ice in the freezer. I'm confident I'll be able to do it.
You are also doing great, STWalker! I was not this far along the first time around at 7 weeks but I did get there! Oh, and those weight machines are hurting me too but I'm using them as tolerable. They get easier everytime which means I'm making progress!
