Thank goodness I found this page. It is 3 months after my TKR and i'm still exhausted a lot of the time. For 2 years, my knee had been down to bone on bone, but I was doing the gel shots. Then a year ago I had a freak accident and ripped everything under the knee cap. I had to wait till all of that healed for surgery - but it didn't heal well and I ended up bowlegged in that leg. ( Which also had to be corrected during surgery)
I get comments from people about how long it's taking me to heal, and
it's pretty disheartening.

People can be so heartless .. only allow encouraging people near you ! I feel your discouragement but please think about last year , or last week . You have come so far by tiny steps .. I’m also talking to myself . Some days are just hard , but we are lucky to have gotten the medical care we have . Blessings
