Hi @vucci
For me, doing tkr 4+ months ago was a well thought out decision. I did my research. So many great and encouraging responses helped calm my fear. It’s not an easy surgery, so start preparing yourself mentally and physically. Do the pre-exercises and the post exercises. An ice machine is your best friend. Pain control is essential. I am grateful that my husband was my biggest help after I got home from the hospital. From day 1, use your walker to move. Baby steps every half hour. ( I was motivated) . Words cannot express how my quality of life has improved.
Best wishes!

Thank you. I was getting very discouraged by the experiences I was reading. You have given me the motivation to continue my research especially with a good doctor.
