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.
