I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

On October 18, 2023, I had my knee replaced.

Today, February 18, 2024 marks four months.

Somedays it feels like it was yesterday.

Somedays it feels like it was 10 years ago.

The update.

The pain is mostly gone. Sometimes, it will get a little creaky after I’m on my feet all day, but for the most part it doesn’t hurt.

There is still swelling after I’m up and about for a long time. Somedays are worse than others. I’ve been told it will take a while to completely go away. That being said, the swelling is far better than it used to be.

My hamstrings still bother my. They catch occasionally, and the pain is an 8 or 9, just for a split second, but enough that I’m super conscience when I do thinks that might trip it up, like standing or going up and down stairs. But even that is better than it was a couple of months ago.

On Thursday night, I got home and was running around the house, and when I finally sat down Adam said, it’s so great to see you able to move around the house without your knee bothering. For a second, I’d forgotten it was a thing.

And that’s true. For a few minutes, I’d forgotten that my knee had been so painful before.

It’s especially true at work.

When I started, I never went down stairs at the end of the night, because my knee was so swollen and stiff.

I don’t even think about it these days.

I’m getting there. A few more months to go, but so much better than this time last year.
