Miserable from TKR: What can I do to get better?

I have been given a lot of great advice and suggestions. Tuesday Oct 5 is 3 weeks since my surgery. The doctor is being great when I tell him about my pain. The first week and a half, was rough moving around. PT does come to my house, 2x a week. I’m actually going to be starting outpatient PT on Wednesday. I get up and walk around my house with the walker several times a day. I am still icing it throughout the day. Doing most anything exhaust me because I’m not sleeping well. Thank you for responding.

Once you get that sleep under control and you get a few nights sleep, you will wake up a completely different person and you’re gonna be motivated to tackle that knee and get on with your life. It’s almost impossible when you can’t rest because when you can’t rest and sleep your body can’t heal so I hope you’re able to get some thing to sleep and I look forward to your next update telling us to year walking around your neighborhood!

@tracy70 Thank you for letting me know, well, all of us here, that you are making steady progress. Home PT is the best, isn't it, when they come to you? I'm happy to hear that your doctor listens when you talk about the pain you are experiencing. You are walking around, icing, going to PT. All good news. We are here for you to listen and provide support. I hope you will check back in after your appointment today.
