Good evening @SusanEllen66, My goodness, you have been a Connect member for quite some time. I am happy to meet you. On Friday, I have my first dental appointment after my TKR. I showed up first without amoxicillin and was sent home to make sure my surgeon gave me the correct prescription. You are absolutely correct that it is critically important for the cleaning.
Congratulations on being pain-free now. Do you still do exercises daily? Do they help with the stiffness?
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris

Hello Chris
Currently I am battling a relapse of my autoimmune disease, Polyarteritis Nodosa. It’s knocking me down and out. I just had 4 weekly IV infusion of Rituxin and am seeing progress.
I haven’t been able to exercise now because I just don’t feel well enough.
That said, my knees get really stiff if I sit in certain positions for awhile. Other than that the knees are great.
I’m happy I had them done although I would not have said that during the awful recovery time!
Thanks for your kind words. I’m trying to get myself up and out but need to be extremely careful with this Covid-19 situation.
Enjoy your day!
