Good afternoon @sherrygk, welcome to Connect. That is a great question. I have had two TKRs and three Cavalier King Charles spaniels. I can remember Roxie running and jumping on the bed all excited because I actually got up and hobbled into the bathroom. She thought that meant I was getting up and getting going again. Finally, she would give up and jump back on the bed to snuggle down with me.

Have you had your TKR yet? If so, how are you doing right now? If not, when is your surgery planned? We are all different. We are of different ages with different medical conditions. Would you be able to share a bit more about your situation? My second TKR was a robotic surgery and I came home the same day. This time I was good about doing pre and post-surgery PT exercises so I walked sooner.

I look forward to your response.
Chris
