As someone who just got a tkr and was threatened by the PT with knee revision if I didn't do all I was supposed to do, can I ask why you had to get a knee revision??

Good luck with all of this!

I now feel sick, nervous and afraid. The doc said that this will be a "much bigger" surgery than my previous two total knee replacements, and he was right. This looks like total hell.

Poor Dear Wife has to cope with me now, and I am so blessed that she loves me so and is sticking by me.
