Is anyone else nervous about driving after a month and a half. Especially in winter slippery roads kind of weather. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or not but I am not a fan of driving in the winter. Now after my TKR my Physio guy says I can drive now and my husband and some friends think I should be driving BUT, I am nervous that my knee is not ready and I sure don't want to damage it in any way because I don't want to go through this again with this knee. Bad enough that I have to have the other one done sometime this year.

I live in southern Alberta. Just above Montana. We are having fairly nice weather right now but it is supposed to rain and then at night it goes below freezing. It is the icy conditions that I am nervous about. Just a confidence thing I guess. I just have to get over it.

aside from the pain and the aches, does anyone have an explanation for the sleep problems? I would have thought that we would be so tired from the trauma to our bodies, that sleep would come easy.
ALSO, I am confused by the info that I'm hearing about staple! Are you in the states? I had internal dissolving stitches and haven't had to have anything removed. I take it that things are done differently elsewhere .
so sorry to hear of the discomfort that the staples have caused🙁

You have done well. I couldn't even think of driving after three weeks. I had way too much pain and swelling at that time. Good for you.
I guess I have to pick a time during the day that has less traffic and just go for a short jaunt to build up my confidence
