i am at two and a half weeks since TKR - right knee. I have been walking with a cane for a week now , and probably no longer need it.
I am able to walk for probably 15-20 MIN before I get tired. Knee and foot still swollen although that is getting better each day. FINALLY ,
have slept an entire night last night - without jumping from the bed to the couch to the recliner. That's been the toughest part for me, just
could not get in a comfortable position to sleep '- hopefully the sleepless nights are behind me. I was prescribed oxi and tylenol but have stopped both about a week ago - not taking any pain meds now, I do take tylenol PM to help sleep before bed. I have lost a good bit of weight since my appetite is not what it was , not sure if that is common or not. If I lose enough weight I am hoping that it will not be necessary to do the second knee ... we will see , I don't even want to think about that now. Anyway , I have PT every day coming to the house , and will start out patient PT next week . I have 95 degrees bend as of right now .
