Wow, good luck with your recovery. It’s been about six weeks since my knee operation but it was just a repair and I’m back at work. Nothing when compared to yours I’m sure.

Toony · 11 July 2018, 03:46 PM

Good luck on your recovery.

james1787 · 12 July 2018, 08:30 AM

Wishing you a speedy recovery Vanessa. My mother-in-law had knee replacement surgery earlier this week.. was a good 6-8 weeks w/PT before things started getting back to normal.

Hooper · 12 July 2018, 03:44 PM

I wish you a speedy recovery!

Vanessa CW21 · 14 July 2018, 09:25 AM

Wow, so that’s what a replacement looks like. Mine is just two small puncture marks. No wonder there’s so much recovery time with a replacement. Your right though the wound looks to be healing nicely.

TheVTCGuy · 14 July 2018, 10:15 AM

If that is looking GOOD.... I would really hate to see when it is looking bad..

My knee hurts.

My knee hurts.

It would look bad if it was oozing yellow stuff or look infected. It's healing nicely without complications

I am very glad to hear this Vanessa

Now both my knees hurt

donas · 14 July 2018, 01:52 PM

Just keep at it, the progress will be faster than you think. My mother is 78 and had her's replaced earlier this year. She was walking with a walker the same day and was off crutches using a cane by week 3 or 4, I can't recall exactly. She is very thankful she did it and wished she did it years ago. She has no issues and it is working great. It'll all work out for you.

Thanks, I know I keep hearing this, but believe it or not, I don't have much patience! Lol. For watches, yes, but not for sitting still, hurting and waiting for things to get better! I'm sure I'll be fine 2-3 weeks from now! Thanks for the encouragement

Hey Vanessa, I'm pretty late to this thread. I am so happy that you went ahead with the surgery.

Mine was a Band-Aid and a couple of ibuprofen compared to what you've had done but mine is as good as new now and I'm quite a few years older than you. Couple of weeks back, I squatted 280lbs and my knee could've taken a lot more (just a shame my back couldn't

).

You got this, girl. Stay focussed and be positive. Get some whey protein, BCAA's and dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) down you on a regular basis. They will speed the recovery process, trust me on that one.

Get well soon

Thanks! Hadn't heard about the chocolate part, but I can get on board with that

I've cut back on the pain meds quite a bit already. I'm definitely improving slowly, but steadily
