So today is four weeks since I had my total knee replacement! I had osteo-arthritis caused by my 50 years of walking differently due to my congenital hip dysplasia.
Getting my new knee moving: hydrotherapy
Yesterday two really great things happened – I got into a pool and I slept.
You all know that I love to swim. Walking down the steps into the hydrotherapy pool yesterday almost made me cry with joy.
Sleepless in Surrey: my knee replacement
I had my total knee replacement 10 days ago, just 2 weeks after my 50th Birthday. By my counting this is my 12th orthopaedic surgery, my last being a total hip replacement in 2003.
I’m a hip girl, not a knee girl!
I can’t believe it’s nearly 19 years since I last had surgery on my hips. I was born with hip-dysplasia and so my total hip replacement gave me a new lease of life.
