Hi All,

Well I've had it done, my TKR was completed last Tuesday and I came home on Saturday so not bad going. I'm very sore and realy struggling with the axercises and getting very frustrated with them. A the moment I'm in a kind of "was it worth it" phase but I hope this will pass. I did manage to put my attractive stockings on myself this morning which was an achievement. I'm also going to my little boys nativity play this afternoon - I'm trying not to think about the brief but painful car journey to come - so that's something to look forward to and is quite a "normal" activity which seems strange at the moment.

Anyway when I can get back on again I'll update you further.
Clare xx

    Hi Clare
    Well done you!!!
    So glad you've had it doen - even though you may be 'regretting' it at the moment! It will be worth it in the end I'm certain :)
    Going to the nativity play will be wonderful therapy for you - far better than any painkillers and excercises!!!
    Take it steady now!
