Well, tomorrow's the day I finally see my surgeon for my follow up appointment. That will 11 weeks and 2 days since my tkr. Wonder what he'll say? 😀

    You're doing better than me - it will be 4.5 months before I finally see the surgeon. This is after his assistant questioned my inability to get good extension at 6 weeks, they put me in a Dynasplint, I was in such extreme pain that I went to the E.R. for fear I had done something to it and then in an attempt to get some answers from someone I trust, I made an appointment with my old surgeon in another state. My other knee needs to be replaced as well, but I seriously doubt it will be by the person who only wants to cut me open and never see me for follow up.

      Omg, that's terrible. Poor you!! I agree and wouldn't go back to that surgeon. I was really lucky, my surgeon is so well known for his work and a lovely man too. The best of luck the next time. 🍀
