Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Maida and : I am a P.T., too! But I did not have the joint surgery, it was my husband. He had a THR a year ago. Really gives a new meaning to Home Health P.T.! Good luck to you guys! I guess my advice would be to be open to what your P.T. recommends. Marilyn maidak2003 wrote: I too am a physical therapist.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi I'm just a person that had a Hip and Knee replacment its been five years ago I just wanted to say don't go into a nursing home its the saddest place to try and recover I don't think they should make people who had Hip and Knee replacements to go I think it makes it harder to recover seeing all those old people and they put you in the wheel chair most of the time and that keeps you from learning how to walk good. I wish you the best of luck. Regards Susiescottyzpt@... wrote: In a message dated 5/16/2004 9:52:37 AM Central Standard Time, maidak2003@... writes: I too am a physical therapist.
