I am so glad to read many of the comments from others who have had TKR. I originally thought I could return to my job as an elementary school principal at 4 weeks. There is NO way I could go back yet. I have an appt. with my surgeon at 6 weeks. I'm playing it by ear until then. PT is going well, but I plan to kick it in gear on my stationary bike and treadmill. If I go back at 6 weeks I may transition with abbreviated hours. This is much more than I expected.
