a brief update on my ltkr which was one year old on May 23! It’s hard to believe, honestly, what’s even harder to believe is that I’m feeling a little sentimental when I look back at this time last year! I had a really easy couple of weeks post op (lucky me) and realize now how nice it was to lay back on the recliner and read, watch movies, and have someone cook dinner, clean the house, do the shopping, etc!
At same time, I am pretty pleased with my level of ability these days, really just in the last month or two I have noticed how much more I can do. Recently hosted a get together for 20 of my college buddies, which involved a ton of cooking and cleaning and running around in general. Afterward the DH commented that there was no way I could have pulled that off before the knee replacement and he’s right!
However there is the matter of the right knee which is getting harder and harder to ignore
Because of work reasons, I really can’t have the rtkr until mid November at the earliest. Got a cortisone shot for it mid April and although it helped some, any effect is now gone. I was pretty much dreading having to go through surgery again, but the knee is clearly telling that I’d better get over it, so I’m trying to get in the right frame of mind, November will be here before I know it.
At least I can look forward to connecting with the bonesmarties who helped me through the first round and to making new bonesmarties friends! Don’t know how I would have survived without all the fine people on this forum!
