TKR Whoopee! Fabby new knee fitted!

[Catanne]

Twelve weeks out today!
Knee is still prone to hotting up and needs rest and ice after I've had an active day, but generally is brilliant compared with before surgery. Still very stiff in the mornings and wakes me at times, but generally sleeping reasonably well.
Rom has improved massively-the less I pushed it the better it got on its own, somehow. Just doing normal things seemed to make it more normal.
I can now walk with only a very slight limp, I can whizz upstairs and almost go down normally. I can, amazingly, walk on tiptoes, not done that for years. I don't have to look for seats when out shopping, I can keep up with friends when walking in the park, and today I got on my pony and jumped some (very small) fences ! I am very pleased and will be going back to work on Wednesday, after seeing the OS.
I need the other one doing at some point and it will be difficult to know when, but for now all is well.

Wow! Me, jealous??? YES I AM! What a fabulous recovery you have had so far! Text book springs to mind Wishing you all the very best for the remainder of your what will probably be a very short recovery! Don't go & do something silly like fall off that pony!

That's such great news - very inspiring. Well done - keep up the good work.

I, too, was bothered by a pesky little limp---it took me fivce months to lose it---but one day, I woke up, and it was gone. (Normally, my knees felt great in the AM and would stiffen up during the day. I always would ask myself, :Is this the day?"

That limp of yours will certainly become a blip in the recovery history!

Thats amazing and just goes to show that the ROM etc finds its own way.

take care and be careful on that pony. Yesterday my hubby remarked that i was keeping up with him when we walked in town, not done that for ages. Every day really does count.

Good luck with work on Weds.
