Out of Hospital!
Hey Gang,
I finally got my total knee replacement on Wed. July 9th and came home over the weekend. Had my first "official rehab" today! OUCH! :CRY: I'm going to be out of commission for the next 6-8 weeks and hopefully can make a meeting in either Oct or Nov. I'm hoping now that all my "clutch leg" pain will finally be gone and I can participate in club events soon. Regards, Terry |
Stick with the PT. As much of a pain in the knee as it is, it will get you back ASAP.
Hang in there! |
What he said. It will be noisier but the pain will be gone and you will soon
forget it bothered you. The only downside is going through airport security checkpoints - but you will get used to that too. I had my left knee done 4 years ago - no clutch problems, still skydiving - you will be glad you did it. |
Thanks for the encouragement!:)
I am a pretty good patient and am good at following directions! However, I can't say that I haven't been folded, stapled or mutilated! :LOL: Terry |
After I had my left achilles tendon repaired last year I learned where the word "patient" came from! Do your PT religiously and everything will turn out fine. Pain has not memory.

Thanks Ralph,
I just wish it would remember for about 10 minutes each day NOT to hurt!;) Terry |
Good to hear you are getting better.
I have had knee problems for the last twenty five years. It is no holiday for sure. |
Started my 3rd week of therapy on Monday and things are starting to work again. I can walk on my own without a walker or cane. That's a good thing:D
Still have another 5 weeks of therapy left but if I keep making as good progress then should be able to get back into my Cobra then. :LOL: Regards to all, Terry |
Glad to see that your doing good. Hope to see you soon
|
The next 5 weeks will be over before you know it. I am coming up on my
four year anniversary on mine and I don't even think of it any more. Trust me - the absence of pain is a good thing - no more waking up at night with a tooth ache in your knee!:) |
