Boy, can I related to what you are saying, Frosty. I'm not glad that you feel tired, but it is good to know it's just part of the process.
I also understand about slowly not being preoccupied with the new knee. I look forward to the day when I forget I had a knee replacement. I am slowly doing more and more "normal" things and I am just beginning to feel what life will be like without knee pain. I was a little discouraged tonight when someone asked me how I was doing after my surgery. I told them it has been a tough 3 months, but that I was finally beginning to feel good. She said, "Gee that's strange. My grandfather had both knees replaced and he didn't have a hard time at all." All I could say was, "Good for him", and in my mind I was thinking of all the Bonesmarties who have had a very normal and similar recovery to mine. Her comments made me feel like there was something wrong with how long my recovery has been, but thanks to Bonesmart I know her grandfather was the exception.
