Follow up

Bones, joints and muscles

Well, tomorrow's the day I finally see my surgeon for my follow up appointment. That will 11 weeks and 2 days since my tkr. Wonder what he'll say? 😀

Hope it goes well. How are you feeling? Hope you have been recovering well. I see mine next week. I’m almost 5 weeks but only have a 45 degree bend! I’m dreading it!

I'm feeling great. Don't know what my bend is cos this'll be the first I've seen anyone from my op. It'll be interesting to hear what he thinks though.

That’s great news. Am pleased for you. I’m sure he will be happy if you are happy

Fingers crossed 😁 Just feel my muscles need strengthening

That will come. I had Tiba Transfer years ago and was in cast for such a long time. My muscles wasted quickly but with hard work and dedication they came back. Isn’t is amazing how quickly they go!  I’m 4 weeks in and cannot believe how weak they have become.

I know, it's little things like going up and down stairs. I can go up okish but not even attempted to go down. Still one step at a time lol.

See you in 9 months.

He'll do the alignment x-ray and tell you you're OK.  Measure your ROM and tell you to keep up the work.  Next visit should be at 1 year.  Finish your ROM work, rebuild quads, glutes and core, master stairs and you're done.  All the pain and stiffness will slowly fade...
