@jk Thanks for your post. I'm not having my L TKR anytime soon! In fact, I'll be having it at a different hospital and with a different surgeon so I need to meet with him first and get his take on things. And he's a rock star so I'm sure there will be a wait to see him and that's not a bad thing. Yes, my therapist also says "up with the good down with the bad." Part of my frustration is that my quadricep is strong yet I still can't do this. Back to patience. 🙂

@babette I was so desperate when I had my first TKR that I took a doctor who seemed to have a good rating on one of those sites like healthgrades, and he was the first one who could do it. I was in tremendous pain and limping badly.
That's great that the new surgeon is so highly thought of. Have you talked to him about your problems with your first TKR?
