Hi Cindy. Now I see your private message in my email inbox. Nice. I see how you were able to go for it and just get out there and try to drive. I want your car! It was helpful. I am adventurous too. My Silverado truck is up pretty high, but I do have a place to step up on. My smaller car is new to me just so I could get in easier after TKR. I will test it too. Pain will be my hindering factor. I was told in California that I need to be cleared to drive before 6 weeks! I wonder if surgeon or PT will clear me and will I rebell. ...to be known at a later time. My TKR is May 2, 2023. Also, is there a way to make my comment private?

I'm not sure if there is which is why I sent you the Pm with my email. If you can and they think you're ready they should hopefully clear you. It's usually sooner if it's your left knee. I don't think I could get in a truck until at least my 4th week or so when I was more mobile. I didn't really start doing steps fairly well until about 4 months and then it was slow going up and down. I live in a two story so I go up and down a few times a day now and can just now alternate my feet which I couldn't do before surgery. Feel free to email me.
