Welcome to the May Marvels' 2018 Knee Recovery Club

[LKM]

I have the same questions. Don’t really know how to navigate the site, or where to go to see questoons from other people in TKR recovery.

 

[DEL2024Dec-41]

Hello. I had my left knee replaced on 30th May 2018 on the Gold Coast in Australia. Could I please be added to the May 2018 recovery group. Thank you, I am trying to learn how to navigate the forum as there looks to be a huge amount of info available.

 

[bottomshollow]

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, pjanec. While not diabetic my main problem has been swelling too. My tkr was 5/8, left knee. I am currently icing and elevating multiple times a day. I've been assured it will just take time. Fingers crossed.
