I sense that you are insinuating that I don’t take care of myself and am now paying the price. That is sort of the irony of all this and nothing could be further from the truth. I too am in excellent physical shape.
Walk over an hour daily, row 30 minutes daily and started the TKR replacement exercises daily for 4 months prior to surgery. I have always maintained an active lifestyle in many ways.
Not overweight at all and never eat processed foods.
The internal medicine specialist at my pre-op appointment stated that I was in excellent shape.
Basically, I really thought I had my body and mind totally prepared for this. I have now received a reality check. Everyone is different regardless of their physical and mental condition.
I am extremely happy that this went so well for you. I believe that this is just a blip in time for me and I will be running a marathon before I know it. Meanwhile, I will just suck it up.
