Any thoughts on the above dear Bonesmarties?
Then I would dispute your surgeon entirely. I do have a "forgotten knee", absolutely and completely! Were it not for my other knee and my weight I could run up and down stairs with alacrity and frequently do regardless though I'm a bit puffed when I get to the top! Also, if it were not for my working on here and looking at my signature a few score times a day, I wouldn't ever give it a thought.My surgeon says that you can forget about a new hip but that you never forget you have a new knee
I had a RTKR July 3rd 2008. I can honestly say that I go days without even thinking about the implant. It was without a doubt the best decision I ever made. OA had taken over my life. I had no qualms whatsoever about having to go thru the surgery and recovery for the second time. I just had my LTKR June 18th 2012. Even at PT I don't even think about my right knee. I mean I know the implant is there, but I really don't even think about it anymore. My job is sitting at a computer all day and the only time I may notice things is if I sit for a long period of time that the knee feels a tad bit stiff. I am just praying that I get the same results in the long run with my left implant. So far so good! Best wishes to you on your surgery and recovery.
