RE: [TMIC] Hello Jude!
MARGARET: I WISH YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY FROM YOUR KNEE REPLACEMENT. MY HUSBAND HAD BOTH KNEES REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. HIS RECOVERY WAS TERRIFIC. OF COURSE, THERE IS A LOT OF PAIN WITH P.T., BUT IT IS TO YOUR BEST INTEREST TO TRY AS HARD AS YOU CAN. HE WAS VERY FAITHFULL DOING HIS PRE-SURGERY EXERCISES WHICH I THINK HELPED HIM RECOVER SO FAST. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT HE HAS NEW KNEEWS. HE CAN DO EVERYTHING, EVEN KNEEL IN HIS GARDEN. THE ONE PLUS SIDE IS HE IS NO LONGER BOWLEGGED. WE USE TO TEASE HIM THAT A CAR COULD DRIVE THROUGH AND HE WOULDN'T KNOW IT. NOW HE WISHES HE HAD DONE IT YEARS AGO. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR RECOVERY.

I am glad to hear that you are home and healing. I hope that all is going well. You were and are in my thoughts. Although we have never personally met or talked with each other, I welcome your emails to the list. You always seem to have such a positive outlook on things no matter what is thrown at you. You always have a kind word and offer advice based on your experience. Jude, you are a gem. I am at home recuperating from a partial knee replacement done on March 26. I am healing well but know this will be a slow recovery. I was amazed at the number of doctors and people who actually think you can fully recover from TM. One doctor was surprised when I told him that you never fully recover and will always have TM. You only recover to the best that your body can. Do take care Jude and I hope you are able to post soon!

RE: [TMIC] Hello Jude!
Thank you for your note, Patti. The recover is moving along slowly. Part of my problem is that I have so much scar tissue from 14 previous surgeries that it is limiting my movement quite a bit. I am working hard on it every day and I am sure that once the zipper (staples) are removed, it will be much easier.

RE: [TMIC] Hello Jude!
We had a great friend who had terrible knees, had to quit playing tennis and golf. Finally he decided to suck it up and have them 'fixed'his recovery was rapid and he said he had no idea how much pain he'd been in before he had no pain!! I say, get it fixrd so we can go on down the road!! and that's how Ive treated tm, I refuse to let it keep me from living!!! janh --- On Fri, 4/3/09, Patricia Cooley patticoo...@wi.rr.com wrote: From: Patricia Cooley patticoo...@wi.rr.com Subject: RE: [TMIC] Hello Jude!
