Hello all! I had a TKR 3 1/2 weeks ago...for the past few days I feel like I am sleeping more than being awake. So here I am looking to see if anyone else is experiencing the same. Thank you for your comments! Dee

Hi Dee - Sometimes it feels like that! TKR, like Chris said, is a major insult to your body, and everyone responds differently. I had minor same day surgery 2 weeks ago, and yesterday is the first time I did not nap, but then I slept 10 hours on Friday night. Let your body tell you what to do.
Are you still taking pain meds daily? They can make you sleepy, and you might want to begin substituting Tylenol or Ibuprofen during they day so it is easier to stay awake.
