Hello All!
I am going back tomorrow for the second TKR. Had the first one (rt) done last October. I am glad I made the decision to go for the second, as it is getting worse by the day and very painful to walk lately....and my surgeon is about 5 months out. I still have some stuffness in the first one, but the doc says its normal to have some for up to a year. I just hope and pray that this time around will be a bit easier now that I have one strong leg to stand on. Also, the weather is much nicer now and I am hoping to get outside, if not only to sit on the deck in the sunlight. The only thing I will miss is planting flowers, but that has not been easy for the last 2 years, so now I can look forward to next year!
I hear that some people have had both knees done at the same time. To you I say - I can't even imagine the strength you have! I could never have done it. My doc won't do it either.
I will be in touch - Lord knows I'm not goin anywhere for a while!!! Have a great day!
