Hi to everyone who knows me, l am now 5 moths p/o and over the bad fall l had 3 wks ago almost all the swelling has gone and l am able to resume my exercise.l am bk to work 2 mths coping well with my now 3x11 hr shifts.l am off the painkillers which were for my knee now 3 days, l still take my fibromyalgia meds which are for nerve pain,but l am feeling good, l still have a bit of pain but it is manageable, and the best of all l attempted to have a bath tonight even though l said l would never put my hubby through getting me out again, l was able to lower myself down no problem and to get out we put a small bath aid stool in which l was able to lift myself onto then stand. I am so happy as the bath l so missed because it helped with my Fibro pain.To everyone who is starting this horrible journey please don't despair because now l can see the light and l now am actually glad l had my TNR surgery, that is something l thought l would never say. I can climb stairs with no knee pain my other knee is not too happy and l will have that done when l have gone past my first year. I do my exercise regime without fail and my exercise bike has become my best friend, l do 3 ten minute sessions daily it now feel like an enjoyment rather than a painful motion. I hoped this has helped the forum followers l will keep posting, good luck everyone and remember there is light at the end of the tunnel HONESTLY.
So glad you got over the fall, this op is hard enough to recover from without all that worry.
We had our bath taken out and a walk in wet room put in,but I miss my bath.
Onwards and upwards!
Hola bling bling 
Me alegra mucho que las cosas te vayan bien, con mucho esfuerzo obviamente, pero es genial que esté dando sus frutos.
Solo me faltan un par de días para cumplir 6 semanas post operadas, así que no hay comparación realmente.....pero como tú, ya empiezo a notar los beneficios. Dejamos nuestra bañera, aunque no he podido usarla quizás durante cinco o seis años (solo tengo una ducha sobre la bañera). Me encantaría un buen remojo relajante, ¡así que cruzo los dedos!
Gracias por tu mensaje positivo tan bonito
Es una noticia fantástica. Ojalá no tuvieras ningún dolor, pero al menos ya no tienes que preocuparte por tu rodilla. Cuando estés en el trabajo, intenta levantar los pies de vez en cuando.
Te deseo que sigas gozando de buena salud x
Hi sueisobel, if only l could rest in between, if anything l have been working longer hours as we have been short staffed,it has been very challenging as the calls l am going to at the moment need me to keep going up and down stairs but l look at this as good because my property is all on one level so l need to be doing stairs, l hope you are progressing well and that u too are seeing the benefit from surgery, take care keep posting.
¿Estás consiguiendo descansar por la tarde?? Con los pies en alto!! ¿Has oído hablar alguna vez de los paquetes de pies de aceite de argón. He estado jardineando todo el día y acabo de probar uno. Se supone que debes llevarlos puestos durante 20 minutos, yo los llevo puestos 35 minutos y se sienten tan bien, es una pena que la sensación no llegue hasta las rodillas, pero supongo que no podemos tenerlo todo. Decir que te lo tomes con calma, es quedarse corto, pero las medias de soporte podrían facilitar la vida..
La cirugía no funcionó para mí, pero soy capaz de mantener el dolor al mínimo la mayoría de los días. Cuídate, cuida tus rodillas y sigue sonriendo xxx
Hi, l had to reply when l read that surgery did not work for you it really upset me because you write some great postings and give positive feedback to everyone, what happened ?
