Looking forward to the final knee replacement in a good way. Now the real work begins. The prior surgery was thirty months ago and I kept notes from the rehab journey in anticipation of this upcoming procedure. My surgery planning or "prehab" is as follows: lose 5-10 pounds; daily squats both chair type and wall; stairmaster for 20 minutes every other day; weight exercises for both upper body and knees 3-4 times weekly; walk a mile daily with cane, as needed; and, proper nutrition (no salty, sweet snacks, or deserts; more fresh fruits and veggies); and sleep. I am hoping that putting in extra effort prior to surgery will result in a fast recovery and easy rehab. Best wishes and the Lord's blessing to all my fellow TKR graduates and pending graduates on your journey to pain free movement.
do you need the cane now? Good luck
