@heyjoe415 : I realize that most people come to this site because they have major problems with surgeries and the results. I also was grateful to find some day-to-day helpful hints to deal with issues resulting from assorted shoulder/knee surgeries. But, I’m with you that there are absolutely success stories as well. I had plain Jane, run of the mill, knee replacement in September of 2018, dumped walker within 2 days, started 1/2 mile walks around neighborhood on day 7. Biggest issue was zero straight knee - took almost 3 months. Flex topped out at 137, official measurement. Has still improved since then, I think. I can do child’s pose to the level of 95% knee bend. Yes, I am bragging. Also, extremely grateful for my surgeon. Also, I paid for all this progress in effort, pain, and tears. Many tears. And much pain. And stubborn persistence.
