Today has been a difficult day. Earlier in the day, I went for a walk with the dogs (real four-legged variety) and had a good workout. Now, my knee is swollen (even after icing) and stiff. I know it could be worse, it’s just discouraging in the meantime. I’m not complaining, just stating a fact. My tkr surgery was 6.75 months ago.
Still, this day is better than the pain I had prior to my total knee replacement.

I’m at 7 months and still working on getting full extension on my tkr.
Everyday I sit on the floor, put a pillow on my knee and then a 10lb. weight.
I’m still hanging in there. If it takes a full year to rehab it, so be it!
