Aftercare from a TKR

The surgeon’s office set up the hotel and home care. I am responsible for the in person appointments.
I decided to stay at hotel with breakfast. My husband was able to bring me scramble eggs to take my medications with.
I chose this surgeon but doing research and interviewing his staff.
My pre surgery workouts included swimming, weight training, pilates and walking.
My muscles were more than ready to support the new knee. The admitting nurse discussed the importance of a healthy diet, water and proper protein habits.
My three week visit will be virtual and at that time I will be able to take off the large piece of plastic wrap over the incisions.
I used a gallon baggie full of ice for the care ride home. I now use an ice machine.

Thank you, you have been really informative. I will have a 8 hour ride home after surgery so will be doing a lot of stopping i assume. I’m anxious to have my i initial meeting with Dr Couch. Again thank you for your help. Becky
