Hey it's sonnysgirl.
Oldfatguy Jean Britta and anyone else I has spoke to before.
How is everyone? I'm doing fine. I've just had a lot issues going on. Trouble with Pt and home health. And ghe med supply company.
Ky is for the birds on home care.
Knee is healing good. But have problems with patella slipping out place.
Had regular pt start and well it's hard.
Xxx to all.
Hi
sorry to hear you are having trouble. I am 4 weeks now and pt is progressing slowly. Seem to make progress then get a new pain and take a step back. Par for the course. The nights are still the worst with little sleep and much discomfort. I live in fear of having something go wrong to be honest. How are they dealing with your patella moving? X
Hi Sally I was like you at week 4 hardly any sleep until last wek week 5. I take Nytol and find it helps. I am also back in my bed after having slept on the sofa for weeks. It does get better. I got told by physio I wasn't doing that great last week but this week have seen improvement. I am using one stick and just come back from a good half hour walk, albeit shattered? Just go at your own pace as we all heal differently. I tend to rest quite a lot still and I think your body let's you know what you can and can't do.
Hi SonnysGirl, I wondered where you had gone!
Are you going to join us in Soobeedoo's weigh loss? We are trying to get some off to help our poor old knees.
I see my physio on Friday, hopefully for the last time. I still walk up and down stairs one by one, unless I forget and use both legs. Lol, as soon as I realise, I'm back to one at a time, it's all in my mind.
Keep going, we will get there.

You poor girl you have really been through it, bless you. Let's think positively for you for Friday xxxx
Hi SG
glad you are feeling better. Hope your recovery picks up strength now. How come your knee cap is moving about what did they say?
Patella tracking disorder. And my implant slipped out. Don't know how. I been doing stuff easy.
hi there sonnygirl ... oh dear, you really sound like you have been through the mill. and if the medication makes you feel "blah" on top of everything else, that is really tough going. i hope they can fix the patella moving around the whole time. are they saying that perhaps they should have done a TKR rather than a PKR?
i have been in bed since saturday with the flu and so not been exercising. boy oh boy can i feel my inner scar again! but now i know that i just have to stretch through it and has prooved to me that the MORE i do the better, not the LESS. it keeps it nice and lubricated. so i cannot wait to get out and about again.
keep positive!
I'm trying Britta. And I've bad flu to. It's been a mess. I wish he had did the full. Because it's causing me Trimble trouble. I don't know how to upload pic or video or I would show u all. It's off and it's painful pop.
How did u upload a scar? I have pics but won't let me. I have video to.
Thanks. IM scared. But I be ok. Thanks for caring.
