Ive just passed the one month anniversary of my TKR and although its early days still for me im walking quite a bit....Ive managed to walk up to the shop and back for a magazine (my dad did accompany me as it was lashing with rain and he was concerned id slip on leaves but I wanted to walk)...Today ive been into town and into home bargains and then after lunch walked to post office to post a card, didnt make it back was bit tired but quite proud ive managed to walk as far as I did.. I now also have upped my exercises from 10 of each to 25 of the quad strengthener, 25 knee flexions and 25 straight leg raises, twice a day......I still cant get a great sleep but am managing to sleep on my side albeit not for long as wake up with sore hips.....The swelling still has to come down a bit more, not sure how long that will take.... The good news is can discard the blinking anti embolism socks, a month is enough as funnily since have shaved legs they get really itchy...GRR!!! Dont think will be driving in 2 weeks, in fact know I wont but im not worried, I will drive when im ready and safe to do so...
