You never think you will get this far.

1st 4-6 weeks are hell on Earth and if it was'nt for my little dog who I looked at 1 day and thought I'm taking you out for a walk as the sun was shining and I felt so low that if I had a gun I think I could have shot myself.

Now 16 weeks down the line and soon as I have had my shower each morning it's back to the exercise along with swimming pool and the gymn.

Have now got back into playing my tennis, bit slow at running ( little slow) but enjoying it with my friends and always ice after exercise.

Still a long way to go, but now life not so bad now.

Wont be rushing back for other knee though.....

    Well done sounds like your doing great, I'm 2 years after a TKR and pain free and walk miles every day because I feel so great and never imagined that I would be able too, keep up the excercise it really dose help, I too thought in the first few weeks that I'd made a wrong decision to have the op, I was 52 so quite young but honestly it's the best thing I've ever done, good luck everyone
