How does your knee feel once it reaches the year of recovery?

I am 9 days from my 1 year. My first several months were brutal.
I am waiting for this recovery to be done. I am tired of the tightness and stiffness. Mornings are getting better, but by end of the day (I work 12 hours a day, 5 days a week) come home and cook dinner, by this time of day my knee is stiif and tight. This is been a struggle for me.
Lots of prayers 🙏 everyday. God is always good.

@cyndi2013 I am with you on this. I am at the 9 month mark and this has been the worst experience of my life. I am 72 and pretty healthy but the knee has caused other things. Now I am dealing with a sore hand because I have pushed myself off of everything for many months. My other knee is now sore along with about my entire body.
My knee is still very stiff .....what the heck surgery takes 1 year for rehabilitation. I would not have the other done.
So frustrating and I keep hearing about that 1 year mark.
