I got my knee replaced on 7/3. Im getting along okay thanks to hubbys vaycay time and since its only been 5 months since my last one. Im hoping to get my staples out later today. Once I'm able to get around myself, I wanna stop at our library and do some research while I'm laid up. Im guessing end of August is when I'll be able to start MDing hard core lol
Its still looking pretty ugly

I have had both knee's done, just remember to keep the ice on it. When they take the staples out, it will sting a little. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and don't forget to do your physical therapy exercises.

Yeah it's hurts quite a bit more than the other one. This one was the better of the two knees so it's very tight. Especially when it's not up with the ice and pain candy lol. Sitting in the doctors ofc right now with a ton of people ahead of me so I'm trying to take my mind off the pain. I do have the Cpm machine to stretch it out it does help. Thanks for the well wishes

Hope you are feeling well enough to get back to MDing soon, but it's been awful hot, so this may be a good opportunity to spend some time at the library or on the internet researching places to go when you are fully recovered.

Thanks Artemis. It'll be 6 weeks before I'll be able to walk with a cane, probably 6 more till I can walk without one. I can't even get to a library right now. But I start out patient PT Monday. But I've been scouring this site and looking on the internet. If you can give me any ideas where to look on the internet I'd appreciate it. Thanks
