Good news Lynn I'm so glad you're not having pain anymore.
It's very true - each patient is different and recovers differently, and the same is true for each knee on the same person. Ultimately I believe a TKR is an absolute miracle at removing daily pain. Even so, it is a traumatic surgery (that's redundant....) and healing takes time, long after the incision has healed, and there are small risks that could create big problems. Fortunately, modern joint replacement is very advanced and recovery times have gone down. But again, surgery is surgery.
I'm just glad you're feeling better!
Joe
