Well here I am after 2 of the worst weeks of my life. My second

Tkr was on 18th April. I left hospital after 2nights but then got a

chest infection.. Try constant coughing on top of painful knee.

They said in hospital that no two knees are the same and boy

were they right. Thank goodness this isn't the first. Sorry to

moan but it's the first time I have even been able to communicate with the outside world and just needed to get it off my chest. I

haven't been able to do much exercise but

I seem to be able to move better than I thought. I have my clips

out Sunday so things should get easier. I had forgotten about the

extent of the pain or I have got softer. Also the tiredness. Thank

goodness we only have two knees. X

I just had my 2nd 4/14/15. The second knee is different. Some better, some worse. I do think it's like having a baby, we forget the worst part . Just remember, like the first zTKzr, everyone progresses differently, but we all get to the same place.

Btw, my doc said he had to do a lot more work on this one, so you never know, yours may have had a lot more work this time around too!
