Hi, @maryx1937--Thanks for making your first post to Connect. I moved your message from the Rehab group to this active discussion called "After knee replacement surgery" so that you can meet other members talking about recuperating from knee surgery. Please meet @gailfaith @contentandwell @cheris @cobweb @niazumbanut @beatricefay and others. Just click VIEW & REPLY to read through the discussion.
Mary, I see from your message that you are 80 years young and in good health, and that you are recovering at home with the help of home health. Do you have a physical therapist coming to your home to work on rehab with you? When was your surgery? How are you doing?

@maryx1937 Mary, good for you, it sounds like you are doing great. I went straight from a walker to walking independently in a few weeks because I found both canes and crutches were difficult for me! I liked the home PT a lot, the young man I had developed a real bond with me and we hugged when I had to let him go. I had to though because as long as they come to your home you have to be home-bound and I needed to get out. Thankfully the PT at the outpatient center was also great.

It's good to hear your success story. Yes, I will be ready to get out by the end of this week I'm sure. Thanks.

Yes, I'm on my 3rd week of in home PT and then will move to out patient. I'm doing pretty well. though my endurance is slow in coming. Using a cane and trying to overcome the stiffness. Incision looks good. Thanks.
