POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE DOES IT HELP RECOVERY
Posted , 11 users are following.
I would like to throw this into the mix.
i went back to work today at 6 weeks TKR . I was really scared as my boss has low tolerance for anyone not working on full throttle. I have to stand up most of the day. I have come home hardly able to bend my knee and back pain but I so enjoyed being amongst people again
with no complications my knee is perfect it's everything surrounding it needs to mend.
i have been feeling really sorry for myself and I am wondering if that's done more harm than good.
Do you think it's ok to push yourself just a bit further than you think. Obviously not being silly.
i wonder if we really do need so much rest.
I empathise with those who have had complications.
what do you think

I guess it's mixed - maybe 6 weeks is a little soon but yet seeing your friends and co workers clearly cheered you up!
Do what is best for YOU

i think attitude is everything. I start each day fresh. They dont all work out but its important to keep trying.

i am being phased into work 21 hours a week for the first month. I can't really afford not to work and I think my bosses patience is wearing thin as I have already had 7 weeks off in the summer from mother operation. I'm on my own so I need to keep going
