Keep going with is NH, it will take time, but you will get there.

I know a lady in her 70's who had this done and got herself mobile again.

So come on with a lot of hard work and even tough days, you will succeed.

Thinking of you and hoping you are victorious in your battle.

Feeling very anxious about Dr appointment tomorrow. I got the what ifs playing in my head. I hope he is not as disappointed as I am with my progress. Very emotional struggling to see the light. Been desperate for a sign. Maybe he knew I mean he did say to me day 6 out of surgery lets see this one be successful what did he mean. How bad was the deformation. Whatever I need to try and sleep.

((((NH)))) My Grandma had knee replacement surgery - it took time and a lot of hard work but she did become mobile and pain free. You will get there. You are so strong for persevering through this.:hug:

Dr. said as long as we can keep my ROM above 95 he wants me to only work on straightening and strengthening the leg till the swelling and pain subside. He prescribed Gapapentin to try calm the nerves down a bit, I hope it works. I can also tapper down on the machine use an hour a day till I get to 3 hours and then I can send the machine back at the end of next week. All and all he was happier than I am with my progress. He also said post op blues are very normal. The fact that I had one major surgery and one minor surgery so close together makes the body go upside down kind of.

I am trying to get my mood out of the funk. I had a friend pick me up and went shopping for a few gifts:D It was nice to see something other than a PT or Dr. office only. Absolutely exhausted from the day. I hope I can get myself to stop wallowing.
