I finally made it to the top of Glastonbury Tor, last Thursday, on the Queens 90th birthday! - did about 6 miles in total, both uphill & downhill. The next day the knee was stiff, but not swollen or painful.
So - I am taking a break now from the forum. I have found in so helpful & a real help through my journey of the primary TKR, the year of pain waiting for the misaligned, mechanically loose prosthesis to be taken out & replaced, - the revision one year to the day last October, & then the slow recovery.
I'm now 6 months post revision, & feel if I am to move on, I need to try & think of other things (happier ones!!). I feel as if I know so many of you, & really, really appreciate all the contact in those dark months. I hope we all get there in the end! I'm still battling with stiffness, but not pain, so I can cope - & if it takes 2 years, then so be it, but like someone else said on this forum, the left knee will have to be hanging off it's hinges before anyone can get near it!!
Good luck to you all - Veronica
