The following questions were foremost in my mind as I accepted the reality of my impending surgery, leaving me to muddle through the preparation and recovery periods as best I could. I am not a healthcare specialist, but I want to reassure the reader that this website has been carefully reviewed by people who are, including physical therapists and an orthopedic surgeon.
In retrospect, had I known at the beginning of the process what I learned by living through it, the journey would have been significantly less stressful and painful. Therefore, I have tried to write the article I wish I could have read before my TKR surgeries. Having answers to these questions would have made My Year of TKR much easier for me. I hope it will do that for you.
