Happy Saturday!!!
I have been in rehb. since Monday afternoon so I didnt get any rehb on that day so on Tue. when I got down stairs they said my knee was only bending 80 degrees how can you lose 10 degrees in 1 day? So in my little mind I said to myself thats not going to happen to me and boy o boy did I work my knee and ICE it yes I get ice here and I am living with my ice and loving it! On Wed. my bend was back up to 88 degrees:wink: In OT I didnt have a problem with getting into or out of the shower, bed, chair so he told me that he would just keep my arms strong,also he said that I should be off the walker very soon. On Thur. Pt was great but OT worked with me very hard took me outside for a long (5 mintues) walk I was so tired after that, I get PT in the AM and PM but OT is only in the mornings On Thur. afternoon I started walking with the Cane that felt so great on Fri. my OT tooked me outside with the cane and PT said I was back up to 90 degrees!!! I am working as hard as I can, was tolded that I will be leaving with the cane told hubby not to take out the walker out of the shed, When I am upstairs in our room we all need to use the walkers and wheelchairs thats ok I did have a great roommate here but she ended back in the hospital because of a U.T.I. I do miss her because we had a great time in our room and as I am writing this I just got a new person, well I had 2 nights by myself, Ok I have lots of reading to do here, its great to talk to everyone!!!!
 
You are doing so great. Your experience in rehab was much the same as mine...My next knee..I am requesting rehab. I am convinced that a lot of my success was because of rehab. Keep up the awesome work:thmb:

Peggy,
Sounds like you are doing great! I had a couple days where I went backwards but like you, the next day I worked even harder. I have PT come to my house 3 times a week. My insurance wouldn't cover rehab place. So I was in the hospital 5 days after my BTKR and then I had somebody stay with me for a week, now I'm home by myself....SO BORED!!!! I just keep exercising more and more because I'm so bored. I've been outside a lot enjoying my new beautiful deck!!! You take care and let us know how you're doing!!! :thmb:
 
What are you going to do with your old replacement.......giant paperweight?:hehe:
 
Wow Peggy really...You know what one looks like can you see anything wrong with that one..Just curious. Probably not IDK........neat for show and tell, Dining room table center peice.......lol..:hehe:
 
You may joke but I knew of a surgeon or two that had hip replacements as door knockers!
 
Oh lol Jo ....Hey Peggy how ar you doing..!!!!!!!!!..I see you on but you havent posted . I hope you doing well.........Is this one better do ya think....?

Your new name should be "Donewiththis"....:hehe:
