Well, I've turned a corner. Very little discomfort, up and down stairs, walking 5 Kms, getting up and sitting down, standing for hours. I doubted I'd ever get a great outcome but the only downside is balance issues. I'm working on that. Be lean, eat clean, be fit and do whatever it takes to live a happy, fulfilled life. I'm travelling again after returning home for 10 days. Life is what we make it. And healthy, positive thoughts are what works for me. Joy to all.

    You are amazing and such a boost for most of us. Good to know it can take a good bit of time and not feel pressured to fit into a "normal" time line. I hope to be similar to you without all the pressure.

    Thank you for your encouragement. I am eating healthy and trying to keep my spirits up.I had lost my weight before my knee surgery. Thank goodness. The right knee should have been done 3 years ago but was having an internal bleed that they were trying to chase down and fix. So in January I had abdominal surgery, then in June, right knee replaced, and then in August the left knee done..they're thinking my body was out of wack and now like a house, I have a new foundation so need to get lined up again. Knees feel fine just this sciatica and shin splint on first knee that was done but didn't start until a week ago😩Glad to know there is hope😀
