TKR The Knees and Me - staged

[rubyyarn]

Hi, all!

A year ago on this date I received my first new knee! I still have visible scars and numb spots, but I can walk wherever I want and even sit on a 12" stool. I only hang onto my husband's arm now for the romance of it, not because I need the support

So there is life after knee surgery. Hang on to that in those dark days when you can't get out of bed without help, and the painkillers keep you so fuzzed up you can't think. It all gets better. The pain goes away, you can walk, and everyone thinks you are a hero

I love that! I’m so glad things came out so well!

Hiya, Jockette!

I never did master the art of uploading pictures to this forum. My shoes are New Balance running (!) shoes. They are grey and hot pink...way cooler than I actually am

I love it!
