Seven months tomorrow( 5/16). Not much changes in the past month. Able to walk around the stores, and very grateful that the bone on bone pain is a very distant memory. Still have persistent slight swelling on the lateral aspect of knee. Recovery is definitely a year or longer process.
I have learned so much by reading everyone’s account of their replacements. Reading accounts of isolation, worries , fears, insecurities made me want to “waving a magic wand “ to improve everyone’s recovery.
Fortunately for me, my husband had both knees replaced. He knew exactly what I was going through, and how to tend to my needs in the early weeks. Very instrumental in my recovery. Of course my furbabies did their part!
