@srm I would never insinuate that you don’t take care of yourself. This is a very hard surgery. I’m so sorry if I came across that way. I never thought I would do well with this surgery and I was so scared. I was very surprised that my doctor said with my Rom I would do well. I know people personally that had this surgery that had very tough times because of knee infections, etc. I spent hours praying for them. I’m a firm believer in prayer. If I said something to upset you then I’m sorry. I ask for your forgiveness. I will be praying for you to recover and I will keep you in my prayers!

Didn’t mean this in a bad way. I truly wasn’t offended. I agree, lifestyle can make a huge difference in our health and recovery. That’s why I work so hard to stay this way. I just wanted to clarify that I have been doing everything within my power to ensure smooth sailing. Just hasn’t worked so far.
Prior to my throat cancer diagnosis in March of 2021, I was in the best health of my life. I was on no medication of any kind. No, I am not a smoker. That’s the first question I get asked. Lol. After a copious amount of radiation and chemo I am happy to say that I have been in remission for 3 years. My main objective was to get my health back in which I have. And then, following an extremely rare radiation induced aneurysm in January of 2022 I had to start all over again. I have exceeded all of my Oncologists expectations. This TKR is surgery number 13 for me and by far the toughest. I believe I just had my expectations set too high. I was also one of the lucky ones whereas my bones were in excellent shape. Therefore, no cement required with knee replacement. 🙂
I appreciate your prayers.
Thank you 🙏
