So many recommendations and suggestions from both patients and professionals over the last 6 1/2 years leaves me to this conclusion: The surgeon does what he is trained to do and hopes for the best with some TKR recipients having better outcomes than others regardless whether they follow pre and post surgery instructions. There are too many factors that come into play outside of the surgeons control. I find reading TKR stories interesting but not very helpful. BoneSmart.com is another website where TRK recipients can tell their stories.
My bad knee didn't go well even though I followed all the recommended instructions and finally had to have revision surgery that is in 11th month recovery. I only did the minimum exercises with my good knee.
I'm writing this following my recommended morning exercises and noticed I'm due soon for my PM exercises. I'm thankful I have one good knee to make it up on the stationary bike.
What do they say about someone doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? A toast to all the guys and gals that had successful outcomes.
