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

Welcome to our latest and all May Marvels!

-

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!

Hi everyone ! Could you add me to the May Marvels group please? I had a TKR on May 15th so four and a half weeks post surgery. I hope that this is the correct way to post something onto this thread as I couldn't see a button at the top saying 'post a message'. I hope everyone else is recovering well. I'm doing ok apart from lots of clunking and clicking which causes me a sharp pain on the outside of my operated knee. Its a little disconcerting as its making me worry that they have given me a faulty knee. It seems to lock then clunk. I also feel as though my leg is made of tin or that there is a tight metal band attached to the outside of my leg, does anyone else have that weird sensation? Anyway I had better stop talking just in case Ive posted in the wrong place. Cheers from Ladybee444 in the middle of England !
