About living without a knee joint (temporary or permanent)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I cannot recall who posted having to be without their or the TKR joint for a

few months but I would like to know how one handles being without a knee joint

for a few months.

I just cannot imagine what that might be like and how one manages to get around

during that time. Can you use a knee walker (bend at the knee area. I just

have no clue about how it might be for someone in that fix. I've had nightmares

about that happening to myself someday (unfounded fears but never-the-less a

scarey thought) and would like to know what it was exactly like for you.

Thankyou,

Leann (over 3 mos THR postop, in need of TKR next (on same leg).
