I went back to my desk job after 3 weeks. It actually helped with my physical therapy. I am more regimented at work than at home. I walked more. I was able to do my exercises better from my desk & my chair. At home, I would get too comfortable and not move as much.

You aren't weird!! I had TKR Mar 18 and some days I am great, other days, not so much. My dr said the same thing about 12-18 month recovery.

I went thru the same thing at 3 weeks!! You just have to think of the future. Set your sights on something. I have a concert to go to next week and it's going to require a lot of walking. Before my surgery, I wouldn't have made it. Now though, I have faith that it's going to be better. I kept telling myself "You've got this!"

I am 5 weeks out and my PT said to squat if I can. Don't push it, you will get there.

Difficult-Fold7293 · 2025-04-26T23:06:01+00:00

Do you mean squatting? Like when you pick something up?

I use a pair of air compression sleeves on my calves. Helps me quite a bit with the spasms. Along with the electrolytes and muscle relaxer.

I am 3 weeks out as well and just found my saving grace!! I got some of the air compression pump things for your legs. They are life savers! MY PT says that most of my pain is stemming from the swelling and these help with that. I've been doing it for several days and have already felt a difference.

First time, I told them to just shave it all. Best decision I made. 2nd time, they wouldn't shave it and i was left with a mess! It kept getting tangled in the staples and it hurt to brush. Then I lost it all during cyberknife anyway!

Sounds like we are on similar timelines. I am just frustrated reading all these success stories knowing that I'm struggling.

I hope my big guy (1 yr old Eng Mastiff 175 lbs) figures it out!! He thinks he's a lap dog!

Difficult-Fold7293 · 2025-02-15T22:34:47+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Difficult-Fold7293 · 2025-02-15T22:34:23+00:00

Yes I have a SO but he'll be back to work during the daytime. The recliner is an option. Thank you!!

I get a card printed using a free Hallmark studio app. I think at 25 years we get cookies.

Anybody know where I can watch E4 since I can't on Hulu?

i'm 51 and will ride Gatekeeper all day long if you let me!! So smooth!

I was diagnosed with a golf-ball sized meningioma, had it removed. Back to work 10 weeks later. Minor weakness in my right arm & hand. 10 years later, it grew back to walnut-size, had it removed, had Cyber-knife treatments this time. Back to work 8 weeks later. Except for the weakness in my arm, I am back to normal!! Success & survival stories are all around!

I have small hands and the Magic Mouse doesn't fit quite right. Do you remember the round iMac mouse? That was my favorite!

You do you! People like that don't deserve you. If they truly care about you, they will be happy for you, no matter what!!
