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!

Wow!! So much information in one day! I can’t believe how many things I’ve been doing wrong in my recovery AND so many things to stop worrying about. Thank you all. I need to go back and read the links before I ask any more questions. I’m still learning how to navigate this forum. I did find out that the BoneSmart app for IPad doesn’t work very well. I’m back on the web page and hope to get this posting thing right. Good night to everyone. I’ll be up every few hours and I bet some of you will be too.

Had my second TKR (last two years ago) on May 8th so I knew what to expect but it has been somewhat different and a slower recovery in some respects.
