Sue,
Thank you for your quick and very informative response. I feel as though I have found a comrade in you! I try to stretch in the morning in bed, as well and it does help me a lot. I also get on the stationary bike to loosen up the knee and that seems to ease the stiffness.
I've been trying to walk more in the house, but it's tough. Sounds like you and your husband made a good choice to spend time in Florida, where you have nice weather and a swimming pool. And I'm glad you are beginning to see a light...
Where do you reside in Chicago? I'm in the NW suburbs - Lake Zurich. Maybe when you're back we can meet? Would love to just sit and talk with you live.
Thank you again for your insightful advice -- it has helped me immensely already!
Cheryl
P.S. I don't know who Cathy is? Did she reply to my post at some point?

Hello Cheryl,
Sorry for addressing you as Cathy,
I live in St. John, Indiana. Prior to 2004, I lived in the south suburbs of Chicago for 48 years. Saint John is about 75 miles from Lake Zurich, and I don’t drive expressways anymore. We can still converse through the Mayo Clinic Connect on our progress. I don’t know anyone that had a recent TKR, so it’s nice conversing with you. I think we are both where we are supposed to be. My surgeon told me it would take one year to heal. I knew that going into the surgery, however, I didn’t think I would have so much pain. Hang in there.
Sue
