Ladies...hello...I am so happy to have stumbled on to this forum. I spent the last hour reading every word written. Amy Jo, way to go on your success!! I believe we had our TKR around the same time and I am so pleased your journey to recovery validated mine. It was so nice to read your ups and downs through the process. I, too, over did activities and paid for it with swelling and pain....and was reminded over and over again by the PA to be patient!! Patience does not come easy for me. I want to go, go, go but my knee often stopped me and said 'not yet.' Thank you, everyone, for the pleasure of reading your comments... it made my journey feel normal.
