Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I wonder if some of you would mind sharing how you found your TKR...the days in the hospital and coming home. I'm really curious about sleeping...I'm a side sleeper, right side...and that's the knee that's getting replaced. I sleep with a pillow between my legs since LTHR, and I do have a bad back, so that makes sleeping on my back hard (but maybe the pain pills I understand I'll need can pull double duty!) Were you able to get into your bed right away or did you sleep in a recliner? I have no exercise machines at home, but if I were to invest in one, is there one that you've found to be most helpful? I do have a weight problem, but have been slowly losing...I was trying to get as much as I could off before TKR, but my knee just can't wait. The surgeon said absolutely nothing about it...I was worried that I might not qualify for minimally invasive, but that's the way he's going. I'm sure there are things I need to know...will check group files to look for info that might be there...but sure do appreciate any advice! Thanks!
