I had my left knee replaced 2 yrs ago. The right one was done 12 yrs ago. I was going stir crazy and thought if I could just sew!!!!! I had pt come to my home and work me here for the 1st few weeks and then I drove to pt. The 1st weeks are the hardest ones. You do have lots of pain to start but it will pass. You won't want to do much either and you will hit that wall of exhaustion that says "Sit Down Now Fool" or that is what I call it. But after a few weeks you will be able to sit for a while to work on things, no pain pills then either. Just know your limit of pain and when it hurts get up walk around and then elevate and ice. Knee Replacement is not the end of all things. You have to work to get it all back but relief is wonderful. Only you can determine what you can do. Don't let anyone else tell you different. Reach for the stars and you will hit your Goal!!!!! God Bless you and Best of Luck. :thumbup:
