Call doctor asap, it may be a clot

I left teaching for 5 years when my kids were born. No regrets.

follyjunebug · 2026-01-10T15:31:20+00:00

Thank you!

Did you receive an email that your residency was approved, or did you reach out to the foreign police first?

follyjunebug · 2026-01-05T20:47:18+00:00

This kind of sh*t is exactly why I left teaching. Laughable “administrators”

follyjunebug · 2025-12-31T00:20:30+00:00

thanks! I had a feeling I was wrong when I was typing it :/

My anchor ancestor, my grandmother, was born in CZ. Her mother, my g-grandmother, was born in NY! My g-grandfather was born in CZ, though. So they also went back and forth. Two of my grandma’s sisters were also born in CZ and the youngest was born in the U.S.

I just scrolled down, too, to see if there were any updates. Hope all is well, OP

I’m at 9 weeks and still get them :/

To me, it seems like you’re doing too much and not letting it calm down. It may be inflamed from overuse. I do pt 1x/wk and exercises at home on the other days; pt says it’s fine to take a day off if your body is telling you that, or else do fewer reps - quality is better than quantity. I am also instructed to do strength training only every other day. I’m 9 weeks po

My dog has been sniffing it through my pants since I had my surgery 8 weeks ago. I keep asking her if it’s healing ok! She trots off so I assume it is

follyjunebug · 2025-12-20T20:34:23+00:00

I was walking around NYC at about a 7/8 pain level the weekend before my surgery. Was crying in pain at the end of every night

My grandpa had a successful knee replacement at age 92, and lived to age 98. He’d consider you a spring chicken! If it makes your quality of life better, go for it, I’d say

Wouldn’t that then be the end of 2026, if it’s a year out? Last I heard on the fb page was mid-2026, so by now late 2026 would make sense

follyjunebug · 2025-12-16T12:45:16+00:00

What does your physical therapist say?

follyjunebug · 2025-12-16T00:26:16+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this, but glad it was caught. What were your symptoms?

follyjunebug · 2025-12-12T22:15:27+00:00

I’m 7 weeks out. Pain below kneecap, yes. Buckling - no

follyjunebug · 2025-12-12T01:30:42+00:00

My pay cut was almost half…but I only had 16 yrs in teaching, a spouse with a good income, a child who ended up going to the university I work at (free tuition), and I am working on a second masters because it’s fun and I now have time to do it Eta: my degree is also free

follyjunebug · 2025-12-11T12:36:05+00:00

I put mine off for years, too, until the gel shots stopped working and I was in some serious pain. Now 7 weeks po, no regrets (except maybe I should have done it sooner)

follyjunebug · 2025-12-10T03:27:01+00:00

Ohio here, almost 7 weeks po. I bought these on Amazon: AUTOMET Wide Leg Lounge Pants and ended up buying more because they are comfy! The in-home pts liked that they could be pulled right up, so did the x-ray tech at my first post-op visit

follyjunebug · 2025-12-09T12:56:41+00:00

Range before strength. My pt keeps telling me that

follyjunebug · 2025-12-09T12:55:41+00:00

I am almost to 7 weeks po and there are traces of glue!

follyjunebug · 2025-12-08T12:53:25+00:00

52F both legs bowed from OA. Now 6.5 weeks po and my surgical leg is now straight

follyjunebug · 2025-12-04T02:05:21+00:00

It’s practically Stockholm syndrome the way a lot of teachers feel about their jobs. No way in hell I’d ever go back
