HI All,
Just and update I am now 7 weeks post op wow where did the time go. I no longer need a cane or crutches, can walk up and down the steps using both legs. Still a little swelling not much pain which is manageable. I can go down and do laundry, fold it and put it away, do housework not that I am excited about that it was nice when I had it done for me. I can cross my legs no problem with bending or straightening, I can even squat. I have amazed myself with my recovery I read the post everyday and it seems that I am way ahead of schedule with my recovery that maybe I should not be doing this good. I feel guilty when I read about others having problems when I have none. I am a very determined person and do not like to lay around doing nothing I have always been a go getter and have never let anything get in my way. My family and friends at times forget that I have had a TKR until they see me walk then they remember. I feel really good and have been back at work since 3 weeks post op. I do get tired in the late afternoon but it has also been very cloudy and rainy here for the past two weeks. I need the sun I live in Mass. I have been camping every weekend and loving it. I love coming on the site everyday and reading the post lots of good advice. Thanks for listening to me also.
