What items do I need post TKR during recovery?

@saeternes : one last comment before your surgery. I’m sure you have read up on many issues regarding rehab after TKR, wanted to make sure you came across the suggestion to find an indoor pool to use once the incision has healed. I, and many others, found it so much easier and less painful to do the PT exercises in water. Other than that, you’ve certainly done your homework. Best of luck!

@ellerbracke, I wish I had found a community like this when I was facing my replacement in 2006 – The pool is something I wish I had known about then to avoid the extended/rough rehab I experienced. I used a pool to assist in the rehab of my rotator cuff repair and it definitely helped me bounce back quicker. I think it would have done so for my knee as well had I tried that. Another benefit if the pool is a bit cooler is the water feels fantastic on a swollen joint.
