TKR Recovery

It has been a while since I have posted anything.......Today, marks the sixth week since I have had a total knee replacement. Perhaps, I have come to grips with the complexity of the recovery. HOWEVER, my rehabilitation has progressed pretty well. With weights, 35-30 minutes of cardio, walking every night, ice and e-stem, I am very blessed. Did I mention I have a wonderful wonderful medical team, let by my best friend who is an incredible physician assistant? The biggest challenge has been getting comfortable and sleeping, but that has improved as well.

My running days are over, but I am learning to adapt and will redirect my energies to cycling, hiking, walking, etc. with half the food. ; ) in God's time will I be as whole as I can ever be again. Some have said, "now you can really work with those who also have joint replacements, since you know what they have gone through." God always has a plan........many blessings as I am doing really well. : )
