Hi. My name is Sherry and I am 59 years old and facing TKR on both knees in the

upcoming year. Was starting to fill out my seed orders and realized I am

planning on having this TKR in February or March. I anticipate being restricted

somewhat in my gardening this year. Grandson will do the tiller work, but

surely after a few weeks I can stand up and use a hoe. Almost anything I

normally do from a squatting or crawling position I should be able to do

standing. Will walk down the road to my garden area instead of taking a chance

stepping in mole hills/holes. I know I am not allowed to get down on my knees

after surgery.

Anyone have helpful hints? I know I am being optimistic in planting a garden at

all, but it will be smaller than usual, and I am having this surgery to enhance

my life not restrict it. I repeat to myself often " physical therapy will be my

friend " and " pain builds character " . Hoping a positive attitude will assist my

efforts.

Nice to meet you all. Hope to learn a lot from you.
