Today marks my one year anniversary of my TKR.  One year ago I would not have thought that I would be walking, jumping and yes, even hopping. Running is coming along slowly. To those of you beginning the long journey of recovery, I can say ( without hesitation), that you will be pain free. You will be enjoying your life. I know how difficult it it is to believe , as you cry through PT and count the hours until you can have more pain medication, that you will ever get through this brutal recovery. Take your time and be patient. It really does take a year to get through this surgery.  This forum got me through my darkest days. You were all here for me. Thank you all for the support, kind words and honest conversation.
