My friend's friend, who also had a total knee replacement recently, was told by a doctor that a total knee replacement is one of the three most painful surgeries. I sure believe that, and I really hope I don't have to find out what the other two are. The recovery time for this danged knee replacement is so much longer than I expected. I'm still going to PT twice a week, although the PTA told me today I'll probably be able to cut down to once a week after next week. My knee is still stiff and painful, but my leg is much stronger, and I'm walking much better. Also, my hip/buttock seems to be holding up to the challenge of sitting a bit longer, which is a good sign for getting back to work Labor Day week. Hopefully, I'll be up to sitting for four hours or so by then.
