No photos this time, but I thought I would let you all know that I am absolutely thrilled with my new knee, I had the surgery on the Tuesday, came home last Saturday morning and haven't used my crutches since! I saw the physio yesterday who was very pleased with my progress and says I can go walking for ten minutes each day. the surgeon took the staples out (32) this afternoon and that was a big relief also. I can even walk up and down the stairs to the upstairs part of the house, though I am typing this on the laptop downstairs. I shall start catching up with blogs in the next few days, now I am going for a walk outside in the wonderful sunshine we are enjoying here.

Great news Robin. I am so glad that it was successful, and what a quick recovery. You must be so delighted.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news Robin - you are making a remarkable recovery and I am so pleased for you - I thought it would take much longer. It's very comforting to hear as I think I may have knee problems in the future. Enjoy your walk in the sun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, so glad its going well, just dont overdo it.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that everything is going so well.Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh Robin, what excellent news. I just knew you'd be up and at 'em in no time!! Can't keep a good woman down for too long. Seriously, it is just so pleasing to hear such positive outcomes. Well done to you and to your surgeon!! Take care, enjoy the lovely days.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful Robin! They certainly have a different technique in AUS as in Norway. My DH has got 6 weeks with crutches and had to exercise with physiotherapy in 4 months!
ReplyDeleteGood for you :)
Pleased to hear the good news about your knee operation, Robin. I could only describe my knee replacements as liberating. Walking without pain is wonderful - and easy to take for granted.
