I’m amazed that your hubby is feeling good enough to give you trouble so soon after a total knee replacement! I had my knee done in April, and I’m milking it for all it’s worth. To tell you the truth, I don’t remember anything about the first 5 days. Then I went to rehab, and all I remember is pain. Then home and outpatient rehab. More pain.
It’s been 3 months and I am pretty much pain pill free and pain free, as well. But, I’m not back to normal yet and don’t expect to be until I hit the 6 month mark. Some people say I shouldn’t feel entirely normal for a year.
Sorry to hear that the recovery is so difficult for you. I knew you had it done, but I had no idea that it would take a year to become normal again.
Dr. told me that I need two knee replacements; I told him all long as I can get around at all, it’s not happening.
I had one done in 2008 and still regret it. Still have pain - I grew scar tiisue and it aches. Had a very bad experience, hematoma, blood clot in the leg and infection. Went through 2 rounds of PT. In he hospital for 2 weeks bedridden because of he clot and it was a month before I could do any stairs. Hey this is a gardening thread! Of course we did listen to Johnny’s ordeal. I guess we all must have one to share.
