[bottomshollow]

I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

You are now an Honor Graduate

from your pre-op days! You've entered the recovery phase of your replacement journey to that place called “Normal”, and you are now eligible to be a

Recovery Club member.

Pre-op surgery team members are automatically recovery team members. If you were not on the pre-op list, please join your fellow travelers in this month’s post-op club by requesting your name and surgery date be added to the roster.

Being a team member will allow you to share your

questions, concerns, and experiences; give one another

support and encouragement;

vent, whine, and shed some tears, if necessary; and have some

fun and laughs together. (Please do the above in one another’s recovery threads. And if you find your fun and laughs taking over an individual thread, toss them over to the Social Room to keep your recovery thread on target.)
Recovery is a long journey

made shorter and easier when made with

fellow travelers. So, start you membership in this special club today by requesting that your name and surgery date be added to the list!

Oops just saw my name on the list. You got the date right but I’m female and this is my first TKR

 

[bottomshollow]

@Wilsomasan, the "his second" is made in reference to the member following your name---note there is a comma after your name to separate it from the next entry for that date: , rah2435 (his second)

 

[jilly618]

Could you add me please. L tka on March 27th. I’m still not able to ride my bike outside knee still hurts when I peddle a bike at the fitness center. I really can’t say that I’m glad I had the surgery. Seems really slow now my right knee is hurting more. I just can’t go through that surgery again.

Jilly618:

I understand your second-guessing having surgery as I also am struggling with pain and mobility issues. Yet, my knee, even with the pain and limitations is still much better than it was before surgery. That is one point I find in common with others. Hopefully, in time, we both will be challenging Lance Armstrong's cycling records!

 

[bottomshollow]

@jilly618 and @Old Vet, be patient (easy for me to say) you are both still very early in the recovery process. In another three months things will look much better and by the end of a year prepare to be amazed.
