Missing all the action!

9 years ago

I know I haven't been active on this forum lately, but there is a reason.......I had total knee replacement surgery on May 22 for my right knee. The recovery is going well if a little boring. Now I'm beginning to get stir crazy at this point and plan to do a little sewing and quilting this week.

This surgery had been put off for several years but I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and got a new knee. The plan is to return to work about July 10th after one last trip to the doc for him to release me.

Later, Teresa

My PT went great today! Except for the part where I misplaced the signed form from my doc certifying my need for PT. But then, they had the ortho office fax over another signed form. Two cute young guys to put me through my paces and I have to admit I was showing off for them, bettering my own previous times for most of the tests! I love competing against myself.

Teresa, I'm glad to hear all is going well. You will be a new woman, so I am told. I'm scheduled for right knee replacement on September 18. I'll probably do the left one next April when we get back from Hawaii. We're so lucky to have repairable problems (I keep telling myself).

Teresa, my PTs have told me many times that I show improvement with every visit! Thursday will be my last PT appointment. My surgery was four months ago, so I'm ready to be done!

Thank you all for your messages of encouragement! I'm still doing well recovery wise. The swelling has gone down and some of the tightness in the knee is gone - which feels good! Still have trouble getting comfortable to sleep at night, but that will probably be the last complication to leave......(sigh)
