4 weeks today since I had my Total right knee replacement.

Am now hanging out the washing etc. Going to vacuum for the first time today. Back to the specialist in two weeks. Hope I can drive. Have had enough of having to relie on others. Even with the discomfort I am so pleased I have had the op.

    I've left my sticks behind. And am driving again. Building up my walking  I can go back to work. Havent vacuumed yet I have a cleanersmile need to do some major tidying and decluttering though. So I am happy with how I am going. Still get a bit sore though, and get very tired. Need a rest every afternoon with my legs up. I am 10(3) and 6(3) past 2 TKR. don't know if it is normal to still get tired.
