5 weeks post TKR - shopping trip - not ready yet :(
Posted , 13 users are following.
I'm now 5 weeks post surgery - Surgeon is very happy with me and doesn't want to see me now for another 12 months, so I thought, yep I'm fine, ready to go out and be normal again ... I'm not on meds anymore so off I went.
Drove into town, went to the supermarket, Target, Post Office and a couple of other places, and went home again and crashed on the couch for the rest of the day. I was out for a couple of hours and this was the result?! Slept until dinner time, hardly ate, felt like I'd been hit by a truck and felt aweful!
Anyone else experience this on their first day out?
Maybe I'm just not ready for this yet.

Never mind, I've learnt, been again since and used the wheelchair. That was a great treat!

This is a long hard road to recovery.
Take things a bit more slowly, I'm sure I could not have done all this at 5 weeks.
It does get better, I promise.
Take care and keep in touch
Praying for you
