HI
I had my tkr on June 23rd so I am now 15 days post op.
just want to update everyone on my progress since last week. I can finally do the leg raises I could not do them but on Sunday I finally did it. I have been walking around the block but today I walked a little further and it was great. I had such a great day on Sunday, it continued to Monday and today. I have a home based day care and I had three kids come yesterday and today they are 6 and 9 and such great helps I got to rest and I even went into my pool ( I have a plastic sleeve that covers my leg) Still get upset because I can't do the other things housework, laundry etc. Getting used to the help though. Resting and ice and pt is my life right now. the kids are great they make sure I exercise and rest and get the ice for me, I have had them for so many years they became part of the family. I am still not at the point of saying I am glad I had it done but I am sure I will be soon. this is the best forum ever I love going on and reading the posts everyday they are my strength right now.
 
Glad to hear you are doing so well. You will get to that place I promise you. I also never thought I would until I joined the forum and had so much encouragement from all my Kneesal Buddies!! I have no joint pain now, even after ny MUA yesterday I still have no joint pain, just sore and stiff around the tissues due to the MUA which is to be expected.

So just keep the good work up. You may still get the sleep problem later on but that too will pass. Good luck with your recovery!! Sue
 
Misscheer, careful, we're addicting.
