I had a partial right knee replacement on 12/30/13. I have been taking it slow with plenty of icing and elevation. I feel pretty good but still get tired after a couple hours of light activity.
I was just notified of an company function 10 days from now in Las Vegas. That would put me at 6 weeks exactly post-op. Las Vegas is a 3½ hour flight from my home. I am anxious about committing to the trip because I think I will be exhausted when I get there. I really want to attend this meeting though. There are some exciting new developments and also the chance to reconnect with other company personnel that I get to see only occasionally. The meeting will be for about 6 hours on that Saturday.
Luckily I have an OS appointment tomorrow and will ask him about the question of travelling.
I would really like to hear the experiences of some on the board. I value your opinions and experiences as much as my doctors advice ;)
Am I taking an risk by flying this soon? Will I just be too exhausted to enjoy the meeting.
Please weigh in!
