I saw Tim's post and it inspired me to add some encouraging words to the forum. Congratulations Tim - sounds like you're doing great. I had my BTKR a year ago Oct. 23rd. It really does get better. I think we all have to keep working at it to continue to get stronger and to maintain all the progress we make. I go to Bally's to work out, ride the stationary bike. I've been working in a job that requires me to go up and down stairs several times every day - and I'm doing ok!
If any of you who were on this forum early this year when I shared my unemployment woes - well, I was just offered an incredible job with the Veteran's Admin. And I passed the physical! The doctor who did the physical didn't suspect I'd had TKR until I told her.
If any of you are feeling blue, discouraged, isolated, frustrated, just plain tired from hurting, PT, lack of sleep, struggling to reclaim your life...please hang in there and have faith. The hard work you're doing is going to pay off.
Have a wonderful holiday season and my best healing wishes to everyone.
Susan
