Get on a stationary bike. Instead of pedaling forward (which is hard enough when recuperating [...]

How to Keep Motivated to Exercise After A TKR

It is so easy to lose interest in exercising when recuperating from a tkr. At first, the pain is so intense that the frustration level is….when is this going to end? I know that’s what it was like for me. And, the steps forward would be matched with steps backward. It’s unexpected. So…how do you [...]

Hot TKR Knee Update

Hello everyone. I wanted to post a quick update about a hot tkr knee. After riding my stationary upright bike for 20 minutes, I remembered to check my knee to see if it was hot.
It was not hot. It was warm. The heat was much less than when I was going through tkr rehabilitation [...]

How Long For A TKR Recuperation?

A couple of days ago I was at a business networking function and needed to enter another room. In order to enter the room, however, I needed to step up about 12 inches. This distance was greater than any of my tkr step exercises. Yikes..
On the way into the elevated level room, I lifted myself [...]

Hot Knee & A TKR

I’ve had some inquiries regarding hot knees after a tkr. It brought back some memories I’d like to share. Ahh…memories.
For about the first five months after my tkr, every time I would get done exercising, my knee would get warm. Depending upon how strenuous my exercise was, the heatness would vary.
When I was still [...]

The Importance of Icing After A TKR

Icing is so important during a tkr recuperation, it cannot be emphasized enough. I have always found icing to be the best pain killer. Plus, it’s cheap. It’s time consuming, though.
Icing is recommended immediately after exercise for 10 minute increments. I actually went for longer time periods. It can be tiresome having to ice every [...]

What Alcohol Will Do To You…Patrick Kane

Patrick Kane, of the Chicago Blackhawks, got drunk and beat up a cab driver over $.20. It’s very sad to hear about, in my opinion. I hope they (CHI) can his butt. I don’t care how young he is.

Another Benefit of Walking & A TKR

As I mentioned earlier, sometimes as part of my daily walk, I greet other walkers in the neighborhood. Today there was an extra benefit.
“Do you eat vegetables?” my neighbor on the walkway asked me. I almost said, “Is the Pope Catholic?”, but restrained myself since I don’t know her that well.
“I love vegetables!” I [...]
