I am now eight weeks post total knee replacement. The doctor warned me, and he was correct, that the first two weeks were particularly difficult. However, after that, I found the recovery not so bad. At 2 1/2 weeks I was walking with a hiking stick outside. By three weeks I gave up any walking device and toured my neighborhood on a daily basis. At my six week check up the doctor told me he did not need to see me for another year! I did do physical therapy after the first two weeks. I am 76 and consider myself fairly active. Prior to the surgery I was bone on bone and could not go down steps in a normal pattern. I had to go one step at a time and bring my leg back up the same way. I am now able to do steps. I am not sure that I will be able to return to yoga, but we will see. Good luck and remember your journey and recovery are yours alone. Know you will get through it - but don’t necessarily measure yourself by other peoples’ expectations or experiences.
