Congrats on scheduling your TKR! Soon you will be feeling so much better. And within days of surgery, up (albeit slowly) and moving.

I was in your situation last fall. Two knees, advanced osteoarthritis, bone on bone with spurs. I had both knees done 5 weeks apart and I live alone. For me, PT was essential in getting me up and moving, icing, elevating. Plus keeping in contact with my nurse navigator, paved the way for a successful outcome.

I am now a year out and feel wonderful. Occasionally one knee is stiff but never in pain. The technology, rehab and following a good schedule for movement really helped me.

May you be blessed with a great outcome.
