Help after TKR

Posted by suzzflwr1 @suzzflwr1, Sep 10 10:56am

I am having TKR on September 19. I don’t have a lot of help after surgery during the day. My surgeon also uses the machine to bend your leg.
How much help do you need after surgery.

I’m sorry you haven’t received any responses yet. I’d recommend you contact the surgeons office for some assistance. They can also refer you to occupational therapy before your surgery or while in rehab. Doing it before it best but you cut in pretty close since 9/19 is your surgery dare. OT can advise you on what you need and can help you get it to. This is what they do as a profession to help patients re-acclimate to a normal life. Hopefully your insurance can get you assistance as well like an aide. Good luck with your knee.
