Working hard!!

[Solily]

Progressing quite well from my knee replacement. I stop using the walker in day 4 and now I am not using any walking assistive device!! Working hard with my physical therapist. He had me walking outside down the block I live on.... felt so good ! The exercises can be brutal!! Still dealing with much swelling and stiffness but it will only be 2 weeks post op on Monday . Also quite tired which is not my normal but I know this is common after surgery. So... overall I think I am doing well! Can't wait to once again go on my long walks . xx

[Solily in reply to sassy59]

Still have a way to go to get a good bend in that knee... but will keep plugging away xx

That sounds like very good, if somewhat painful, news. Well done, you. xxx

[Solily in reply to Alberta56]

Yes...still painful and at times hard to work thru the pain xx

Hi ,I had my replacement four weeks on Tuesday.

Yes the exercises can be painful, but my pain is less now and can raise my leg up off the bed. Still using my crutches for support but taking some steps without them. Good luck and take care,

Good luck to you!! Exercises are brutal.... but need to do them... thats what I keep telling myself. And something as raising you leg up off the bed is such a step forward . Take care of yourself xx

[Solily in reply to peege]

Yes... one day at a time and each day is somewhat better. The darn swelling is the big issue xx

[Nula2]

That's really good news. I have seen people who can hardly walk then have a knee replacement and the difference is amazing. Brilliant. Keep us posted🙂xxx

[Solily in reply to Nula2]

Thank you !!xx

[katieoxo60]

You seem to be making miraculous recovery, just what you hoped for Solily. So as they say onwards and upwards. The Physio is important so best wishes but do take care. x

[Solily in reply to katieoxo60]

Yes... onward!! Thank you xx

[katieoxo60 in reply to katieoxo60]

You are wecome.

[Donald_1931]

Brilliant! I had both my knee joints done at the same time in 2001 and they are still as good as new. The hard work that you are putting into them now will repay you a thousand times over. 😀xx

[Solily in reply to Donald_1931]

oh... I cannot imagine having both done at the same time! You are a brave guy!! Yes... work hard with PT !!

[Mooka]

[Solily in reply to Mooka]

Thank you!! xx

Hi! My Husband had both his knees replaced and like you he got on quite quickly. The exercises are imperative. He religiously did them and it wasn’t too long before we were going out for days again. I hope you will be the same. It sounds very much like you are a positive person.

[Solily in reply to Mavary]

Thank you for the positivity! Can't wait to go out and have some fun. xx
