TKR 13 weeks
Posted , 6 users are following.
Just wanted to say that at 13 weeks now I feel that I am well on the road to recovery. Have been driving since christmas which gave me my independence back and I am now due back at work next Monday,9 Feb on a phased return.
Had my first soak in the bath last night and I surprised myself that I could get in and out without too many problems. My husband was on call just in case I couldn't get out but I managed to raise myself up to stand up and climb out of the bath. I also noticed that as I was topping up the water I was sat cross legged and hadn't realised. Only thing I can't do like most others is kneel, that thought feels me with utter dread.
Onwards and upwards now, we all get there eventually!

Please wish me luck for knee number two on 18th March!
Having a bath is bliss isn't it. Just hope I'll be able to manage with two dodgy knees. Getting in OK. Getting out not a pretty sight.

So good to see your name and post again!
I am sending good thoughts & well wishes to you on your next TKR coming up! It should not be as frightening and unknown to you this time around, but I'm sure you are not looking forward to that long journey to recovery! Just keep thinking how good you will feel with both knees "repaired". You'll be able to do lots of fun things on your daughters ranch
Good luck to you Lynn! Betty
