This surgery was supposed to be more extensive and painful than the original surgeries I had back in 2007 and 2008.

I'm already walking with just a cane now and I will start Outpatient physical therapy next week, which I'm very much looking forward to. All in all, this has been, IMO, a much easier experience than it was before. Of course, being over 100 lbs. + lighter in weight has helped tremendously, too.

Congrats Theo! That is an amazing accomplishment. I had a left total knee prosthesis done 2 years ago and I did not take but one pain pill post op. My surgeon loaded the open knee up with a pain cocktail before gluing me shut. I was so relieved to NOT have that awful arthritic pain anymore.

I am so glad the revision was so much easier on you! Keep up the good work.
