Looking forward to the final knee replacement in a good way. Now the real work begins. The prior surgery was thirty months ago and I kept notes from the rehab journey in anticipation of this upcoming procedure. My surgery planning or "prehab" is as follows: lose 5-10 pounds; daily squats both chair type and wall; stairmaster for 20 minutes every other day; weight exercises for both upper body and knees 3-4 times weekly; walk a mile daily with cane, as needed; and, proper nutrition (no salty, sweet snacks, or deserts; more fresh fruits and veggies); and sleep. I am hoping that putting in extra effort prior to surgery will result in a fast recovery and easy rehab. Best wishes and the Lord's blessing to all my fellow TKR graduates and pending graduates on your journey to pain free movement.
