After knee replacement surgery

Hi contentandwell......gailfaith here. I am surprised the massive motion machine didn't help you. I had it for both knees and I dread the day I would have to have another TKR and try to recover without it.! Did you get the machine to use at home? Maybe there is hope I'd get to use one. I just had my knees x-rays by the surgeon (knees done 2004 (L) and 2006 (R)), and even though I have now walked over 100 measured miles, they show no wear yet !!!!!!!!!!

@contentandwell Thanks for mentioning the @ sign when addressing a member. It makes sure that the person gets a notification that they have a messager. Teresa
@hopeful33250 Teresa, it does and sometimes if your time is limited it is particularly nice to see if there are any messages directed to you. The email alerting me to messages is very full of course with the MAI messages so often i have to delete them but since I have responded to a few things in there I always hope I am not deleting messages to me.

@contentandwell Yes, I know what you mean - I wish there were a special way to distinguish a message that is a reply to me rather than just all the messages of interest. Hmmm - might be a good suggestion for the tech folks at Mayo Connect. Teresa
@hopeful33250 Teresaa, I have also participated on the message boards on the American Liver Foundation site and when you respond to a particular message it shows who the response is to, and you click on that it will show you the original message being responded to. I prefer the Mayo site for good info though.

@gailfaith The machine I used was one in my home. You were supposed to lay down with this thing and be that way for a couple of hours.
You say you had it for both knees and then that you hope you could get one. Do you need to have a revision to one of the replacements?
Also, just want to mention, if you put the @ in front of the person's online name the email notification tells that person that you have a message. This can be helpful on days when you have a lot of mail and not much time because you can pick out those that are directed to you.
