Been out of comission these last few weeks, recovering from knee replacement surgery. Next phase: torture...I mean, outpatient PT. This was one of hardest things I've ever done, but my leg is straight after being crooked for years. Who's got gnarly surgery pics or recovery tips? Here's a couple right after surgery. The staples come out tomorrow! Show us your scars!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand the sight of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thud!
It is rather shocking, lol
@Freespirit64 When I came back from open heart surgery, I was covered with bruises and stiches from neck to feet. I don't mind seeing my own though.
I had both done at the same time 7 years ago and so far it's like I never had bad knees, actually skied 30+ days this year. My advise is do your all physical therapy and do some extra stretching everyday, just going to PT a couple times a week is not going to get it done. If you have a hot tub, that is the best place to stretch it.
You're a brave soul, to get them done at once! Color me impressed.
@Freespirit64 I really don't think it was all that much worse, but doing them both was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
@Freespirit64 Good luck with the rehab, hopefully you will have as good an outcome as I've had.
Holy crap!! Bet that stung just a tad bit. Hope all goes well for you.. going to be awhile for you to get up and moving again.. Lots of vitamin E oil and aloe vera on the skin once it starts healing good.
Good luck with the PT. I've heard it makes a world of difference.
No visible surgery scars for you but I did wake up with a stye this morning. I don't ever remember having one before and I don't want one again.
Sorry about the sty!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thanks!
Should give you extra time to express yourself on here!
