Hi jen! I am really, really pleased for you. I am 5 months right knee post op, and if it wasn't for my left knee I would be having a go at that! What an inspiration you are! I am having the left knee done next Thursday so may be in another 6 months I will be bopping too!

I only managed one dance but knowing i will jive again is great didn't think i would ,im looking at about 6 months for my other not ready yet ,good luck for next week hun i couldn't go through withcit again this year xx

9 weeks is very early days,i no what you mean about depression we all been there think you will never be able to walk again never mind anything else, i tryed to dance at 12weeks and it was no way got really down then thought iv been through all that and i still cant have my life back then i sprained it in july my 50th birthday trying to do to much ,so didn't think i would be doing anything last week when we went out im still smiling x

Thanks jen. I have no choice. I am in so much pain even with support. I can't even walk to the end of the drive so my life quality is pretty poor. My hubby has booked a slow waltz with me for Christmas eve   - that is a really good goal for me to aim for.

Well done, you must feel very relieved that your knee works well and pleased with yourself for getting back in some way to normal. Good for you.

Onwards and upwards.

Well done you!  To get back to dancing again is my goal, especially rock n roll which I used to do energetically and fast.  I'm just over 3 months TKR and have just ventured onto a dance floor for the first time in trainers, doing some slow Argentine Tango steps.  I am spurred on to do my exercises, even though they are tedious, with the goal of jiving maybe by 6 months like you. Still some way to go for strength in muscles.  Will report back.

What a great  site this is.  It has helped me so much.  Thanks everybody.

Hi Jen

glad to hear you feeling so positive.

Pleae be careful though, as it's never a good idea to twist a TKR.

Rock on! Congratulations to you.
