TKR No Kneecap and a TKR Experience

Good news! The splits on my fibula have not increased, so no surgery! I still have to wear the cast for at least 3 more weeks with no weight on the foot. Thank you all for all your prayers!

This new OS has experience on tkr on knees without kneecaps. His office and the hospital is about 1/3 of the distance than my current tkr OS is. I will check out his reviews for this surgery and do a lot of praying about switching to him. I was very happy with my first doctor, but the distance is a consideration.
 
that's great news sistersinhim, no surgery and new surgeon a closer distance from you. best wishes being sent to you.
 
Great news! Most likely healing properly due to Him, and an excellent patient following those strict guidelines of no weight. Keep up the good work and rest.
 
Rest is about all I can do! It takes about 10x longer to do any one thing and it leaves me exhausted.

No surgery is great news! He does answer prayer. Still praying that the rest of your recovery goes smoothly and that you make the right decision about surgeons.
 
What wonderful news! No surgery. Hoping the rest of your recovery brings similar happy results.
 
Today my new knee is 1 year old! Boy, has time flown by. It has had it's ups and downs and the first few months I wondered why in the world I ever had it done! But, as time went on, I finally was glad I did have the surgery. Being able to walk up and down steps like an adult for the first time in over 25 years was a thrill! Giving up the cane for the first time since 1991 was cause for a huge celebration! And riding my outside bike without pain left me wanting to jump up and down for joy!

Today is not what I envisioned my 1 year celebration would be. I had planned on using this knee and doing the things I loved to do this weekend. But, with my foot and ankle being non weight-bearing, I'm sitting in a wheelchair. My new knee is sore to move it; probably because of non use and the direct fall on it. The best I could measure my ROM without moving my ankle showed it to be around 110. Very disappointing. But, I do know it will come back. The movement soreness will go away and 'My Brat' will be good as new. It has proven itself already, and just wants to be used again. I just have to get this stupid ankle and foot healed! Then watch out world, here I come!!
 
Happy Ann-knee-versary, Paula! Your knee is doing a great job, considering the problem you have with your ankle and foot right now. Once it gets over the trauma it also received when you fell, it will come back, good as new.

This difficult time will pass. Already, your bones are healing.

Love and hugs! :loveshwr: :friends:
 
I left a message with my OS's PA, asking if I could ride my recumbent bike. I've not heard back yet. I hope so. I'm probably gaining weight. I don't want that!
 
Congratulations on your kneeversary. I'm going to guess the answer about the recumbent bike will be "not yet." Patience, Dear, Grasshopper!
 
Happy kneeversary! A huge milestone, even if other issues are dampening it. You've come so far'
