Keep up the hope and hard work it’s worth it

On the 9th January I had TKR and the bone in leg cut and straightened. This was following two nasty falls, neither were my fault. 

I had an amazing surgeon Professor Anan Shetty in U.K., cannot recommend this gentleman enough. 

I had had two multi fractures previously and stem cell. Leg was bent out over 12 degrees, my mobility really impaired. 

I went back to work after 4 weeks,  as financially I had no option but to go back early. Now with hind sight it was much much to soon. 

My Chico Marx advise kept me going. I have his picture of what we think and what our actual journey is on my desk. 

It’s a journey, you get out what you put in. I’m still having Physio, still exercising. They never thought my leg would be straight and thought it would need the last 4 degrees manually straightened. 

I’m there, 0 percent straight 125 to 130 bend. 

My advise, look at Mr Marx links, do your exercises, persevere, it is worth it. My life has been turned around. 

I have just returned from holiday, I payed on a sun bed for the first time in 5 yrs. I sat on the sand for the first time in 11 years. I hadn’t been able to get up

Prior to this. 

Have faith, carry in with your journey, the results will come. It is a journey but a worthwhile. Good luck everyone.
