Remarkable transformation @stephmckenzie I'm sure it was worth the efforts. Sometimes it takes courage to go through major surgery like this. Proud of you for the courage cause I know how my partner felt when she had breast cancer and they had to cut off her breast. It was a painful and sad moment for me and her.
Anyways is all done now. Now you can start walking again but try not to go mountain climbing at the moment till you're completely healed. Lovely post and all the best.
Thanks! Yeah, mountain climbing isn't really something someone with knee replacements should be doing. They advise against high impact activities, like running, jumping, or gymnastics....things that could put extra wear and tear on the prosthetic knees. But, there are plenty of other activities I can do, like hiking, walking, some yoga, weight training, and things like that. I hate running, anyway. The only good thing to come out of getting the initial knee issue that led to the arthritis when I did was getting out of running the mile for the final exam of my last required semester of P.E. in high school. I got to sit under the shady, cool stadium and watch my friends to it, instead. :)
