Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thank you all I have been doing great got off that machine early got up to 100 on it. PT says I'm doing great I will be 5 weeks Tue and I need nothing to help me walk in the house now. Just getting they ted off will be a good thing lol. I'm so sorry your having a bad time I hope your better now. I have good and bad days yesterday was bad then I think I did it to my self with the scar massage done it to hard. I only need pain meds about every 12 hours and they changed them after my first ones and I cut them in half. I try and walk each day but it's gotten cold here so no more outside walking just do it the length of the house 3 times. Plus I do the usually walking and 4 pages of exercises twice a day pt comes 2 times a week also. Nurse coming once a week and think this will be my last time for the bath aid also was nice while it lasted lol. Now for some other news I had breast cancer almost 4 years ago and went to my cancer dr wed and he found another lump I had my breast removed cause it was the second time for me and I didn't think I had to worry any more. He wants me to go right to surgery to have it taken out no test at all. I hate going back in to surgery just weeks after my knee surgery and I'm praying I will be able to say in march that I'm 4 years cancer free. Sorry took me so long to get back I'm not at the computer much. Sharon LeVine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hello Sharon, So glad to hear how you are doing. I am sorry to hear of the possible cancer and second surgery so soon following our TKR. I will be praying and thinking of you! My knee was in bad condition and I think that may be partly why I've had some extra battles. I am getting better and I know it takes time. I have had a lot of nerve pain, twitching severe sciatica after surgery which has not cleared, but I have started taking Neurontin for nerve pain which is definately helping. I am so grateful for this group to help support us and of course the wonderful members. I will continue to pray and send positive thoughts your way!! Let's continue to keep in touch!
