recovery

The surgery went fine - it was just a small tear and there wasn't as much arthritis as the dr thought there would be in my knee.  So now i am just resting, resting, resting - drs orders.  Luckily I have my psychical therapy exercises to keep me moving even though they hurt like h---!  It's a process.  They main thing I have to concentrate on is getting that knee straight - it hurts but the therapist said I won't damage anything by trying to get it straight.  If I don't work on it I will have a limp.  Anyways - I am tried already from sitting up and need to go lay back down!

  1. Good news about the knee! My MIL went through a knee replacement a few years ago and the physical therapy is painful but crucial to the process. Keep at it! Take care of yourself and use the time for important things like...reading, tv, doing your nails, shopping online! Have a great day!
