About this blog

"New Nees"...a term used when friends have had breast enhancement. I mean you can't go around asking "how are your new boobs?" But asking about knees? Certainly. And so it was born. As a nod to its humor, I use it here where it really does mean "new knees".

When I decided to have bilateral knee replacement, I started searching the world wide web hoping to find other blogs on how people have prepared and gotten through the recovery, physical therapy, and their end result. I found one really good blog which I will link to (Random Thoughts from Midlife), but the very few others I found were only about one knee.

So I am starting this blog, so that if someone else ever needs to go where I am going, they will have an idea about the journey on this road "less traveled".

Second Week

One week ago at this time I was done with surgery.  I remember waking up crying, and not knowing why.  I still don't know why...lol.  The arthritic pain is definitely gone, but of course, it is replaced by the surgical pain but instead of getting worse, this will continue to get better.

I started writing this one Tuesday morning...it's Thursday morning now...lol.  I'm generally pretty active, but if you give me a little oxy, I'm down for the count.  Oh well.

PT is enjoyable; I won't say FUN, because there are many other things I would choose to do, but I don't mind going and I look forward to seeing what ROM (Range of Motion) is being accomplished.  Right now I am 0/95 on both legs.  This is good.

I have yet to "second guess" choosing to have this surgery.  I do wish I could get a better night's sleep      though.  Pain meds kicking in......
