to be " normal " again.However I am not reall sure what that is it has

been so long ago. thanks sherrie

Mom is still working on getting it straight and she is 4 weeks. I didnt go to pt with here yesterday but on Monday she was 95 degrees herself and then with some help it was 100%. She says they used some heavier weights yesterday so she is hurting today and of course worrying.

Hi Sherrie,

Let's see, I'm 15 weeks post op now and can get my knee almost straight

sometimes...LOL. Its really easy after being in bed all night and then

trying to stand up first thing! I did this exercise in PT where I'd

lay down and have my heel resting on this step. Then they would strap

a weight onto my knee...increasing the amounts as we went along. I

think I got up to 3 lbs. This helped to straighten out my knee. At

home I do the same thing, resting it on the footboard of the bed. I

use a bag of rice for a weight. Funny how you improvise at home

My OS tells me alot of your recovery depends too on how messed up your

knee was in the first place. I myself had all those other surgeries,

limped for many years, never could straighten it anyway...so I have

lots of corrections to make. I need to learn to walk all over

again...ESPECIALLY not walking hunched over. That is my biggest

challenge right now!! I don't bend it still when I walk.

Yes, I still have lots of numbness, and discoloration too. I'm

really sore on the left side sometimes too but I had alot of hardware

removed from that side so that's part of my problem. Did they do any

extra work on you there?

Perhaps you are like alot of us....too anxious to get on with life

again...LOL. I think you are doing a fantastic job!!

Yes I am very anxious to get on with life the only other surgery I had was the arthroscopic about 3 years ago I do not know all that he did during my tkr the OS told my hubby that my knee was in bad shape and worse than he had thought. I did have a lot of trouble straightening my knee for many years and I to walked hunched over and limped almost 100 percent of the time it got so bad I coulnt work this past year. Guess i need to cool my jets and give it time sherriereynawhitehawk <ReynaWhitehawk@...> wrote: Hi Sherrie,Let's see, I'm 15 weeks post
