- 💝 KNEE REPLACEMENT RECOVERY 💝
If you are facing a knee replacement, you may be interested in my knee replacement recovery video. It is now about two weeks after the surgery and I am doing fine. Although I still have some pain and swelling, the pain is manageable and the swelling is subsiding. My knee replacement recovery has been relatively painless (considering that this is a major surgery) and I am now just on over-the-counter meditation. I am walking with no cane or walker, going up and down stairs and driving. I don't want to mislead you, as I still have a great deal of healing in front of me, but I am pleased by my results at this point.
I have been told by both my Physical Therapist (PT) and my surgeon's nurse that my recovery at this point has been VERY rapid (although it will be six months to a year before I am totally back to normal). Please don't compare your results with my results, as each person is different. Perhaps my recovery is somewhat easier because I am only 59.
Following are the general tips I can give you from my experience:
1. Follow everything your doctor and PT suggest. They are the experts and they know your situation.
2. DO YOUR PT EXERCISES EXACTLY AS PRESCRIBED. The surgeon's job is over in a a few hours. YOUR job is to do what it takes to make your new knee function as perfectly as possible. The ONLY way to do that is to do your PT exercises as if your knee's health depends on it. It does.
3. This is just my general advice, but as soon as your doctor permits, try to wean yourself off any narcotic pain medications to avoid addiction (again, with your doctor's guidance).
4. I just discovered another UA-camr who went through knee replacement surgery who had an AMAZINGLY rapid recovery. He says he did this by doing all his PT exercises and also eating an anti-inflammatory diet consisting of lean proteins, vegetables, fruits and nuts from the week prior to about six weeks after the surgery (no flour, sugar, alcohol or processed carbs). I plan to start this type of diet today as I still have quite a bit of swelling and my usual diet is close to this diet anyway.

I had my knee replacement April 19th. Now I can say it was the best thing I could have done to bring my life back to normal. The first two months were total recovery, but months three and four were the beginning of walking life again. Now at six months I can barely slow myself down. I am so thankful to my Lord for giving me my healing.
Hi Diana. I am SO happy for you!! Bless you. It sounds like you have a very well deserved new lease on life!!! Have a great weekend and a wonderful second half!! XXOO
This video has really put me at ease. I am 53 and am having a knee replacement in a few days. It will be my very first surgery and I’ve been really nervous not knowing what to expect. Your positivity and way of thankful praying has touched my spirit. I now feel hope instead of fear. I love your honest approach in life. You have a beautiful light and a bright soul. God bless you.
Hi Beth, I just discovered your channel today while searching for info on derma rolling then I saw this video. I am 50 years old. I had my right knee replaced on March 1st and left knee on June 7. I had extensive arthritis and have been in pain for years and it took some time to find a doctor willing to replace at my "young" age. Your video really inspired me. My first knee was much easier than my second but I am staying positive! Wishing you all the best!
Hi Nancy, Bless you! I am three weeks out and it is a challenging experience. As you know, it takes time and patience to heal, as well as lots of PT! I am glad you had your second knee done. Both of us can look forward to being about to walk and be more active. I am so glad for you Nancy. I will be thinking of you and hoping for your totally perfect recovery! XXOO
What a great video, Beth, to this retired ole' nurse! I'm glad my professional contemporaries treated you right! I'm thrilled that you didn't feel too lousy post-operatively, for too long, and that you are very pleased with your physiotherapist. Tramadol is an effective synthetic opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain that was successfully used in Europe for quite some time before it began to be used here in North America. I am glad it offered you effective post-operative pain management. You are right; no one wins in this situation if they test their new joint by being too much of a 'rock star', too soon! What you have experienced is absolutely normal, and you will eventually be fully recouperated, your rehabilitation will be complete, and your quality of life will be enhanced as a result of your decision to have knee replacement surgery! Remember; total knee replacement is major surgery, and it required hospitalization following the insertion of an artificial joint to replace your damaged knee joint. It can take between three to six months to a year following post operative healing, and physical rehabilitation in order to completely recover to maximum muscular strength and endurance to support the new joint that will allow you to fully enjoy an enhanced quality of life without continued pain, discomfort, and disability. You are on your way, missie! Keep up the great work, and rehabilitative efforts, and stay positive, Beth! Great to see your parents, your sweetie, and best girlfriends! You have a wonderful support system which is also very important! Your flowers were gorgeous! The new 'jammies' might have been a little too hot to wear, but they did look awfully pretty on you! Onward & Upward; hugs, and best wishes for a speedy, and complete recovery, my sweet Southern friend, Sherrey💗
Sherry, What wonderful comments! Thanks! Your comment came at just the perfect time for me as I need to remember that it was a major surgery and that I won't be totally back to normal for 6 months to a year. I get so impatient!! You have reminded once again though how important it is to stay with my PT exercises each day and just go through the process. I am doing very well, but of course I still have some swelling and discomfort. You know, when I put that video together I realized that I really do have a great support system and love around me. Thanks for your sweet reminder. Have a great weekend coming up! XXOO
Congratulations! You have so many wonderful things to look forward to. I had BOTH of my knees replaced on November 19, last year (2016). Both were bone on bone. At about 3 months was my biggest turning point. I too loved physical therapy...it worked wonders. We are in CO, so I didn't go w/o assistance (walker/cane). Too much snow and ice. My sister came from Houston to take care of me during weeks 2 and 3. That was wonderful. Please feel free to reach out anytime. Been there/done that. I just turned 65 on July 9. I am really proud of you! Blessings...Laura xo's
HI Laura, That's my sister's name! Thanks so much for your comment. It sounds like you are really happy now! I also liked hearing that your real turning point came at three months. I am a 3 weeks and your words helped me realize that I need to slow down and take it as it comes. Bless you sweetie and I appreciate your sharing that info with me so much! XXOO
You are so welcome. Please DON'T push yourself. You'll end up doing more harm than good. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should! There are a lot of things that can't be pushed...it really does come with time. Before you know, it will all be behind you. I can hardly believe how much better I feel. Like a new woman! I enjoy your "second half" videos. We need all the encouragement and gentle (? lol) pushes we can get. Prayers for peace and a speedy healing. Blessings, Laura
you are the sweetest.. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you. I am a person of faith and will continue to pray for healing and complete restoration for you.
I love what u said about true beauty comes in many different boxes...it starts within....You shine from the inside out Beth.
I'm a Nurse so thanks for the sweet comments about your health care workers.
We do try our best!
Blessings on your recovery 💗💗
Hi Nina, You're a nurse who definitely shines on the outside too! You are just lovely! It is so true about nurses. God just gave them open hearts and the ability to help and heal others. Every time I'm in the hospital I am reminded about that and am truly amazed. Thanks for all you do. It helps others so much. XXOO
Thank you for documenting this for us. Healing prayers for a speedy recovery. Hugs 🤗
Hi Beth, as u are healing, may u feel warmth and compassion from all who care about u. Best wishes that you will soon be back to doing all the things u love. Miss u❤️
Thanks so much Julia!! I appreciate it and love it that you're here!! XXOO
Growing up in Stillwater and being a graduate of OSU, I was thrilled to see your husband's jacket! I watch ALL of your videos and am so happy that the worse is behind you and that you are progressing well. Thank you for your insight on what true beauty is---watching a lot of you tube can make us feel very inadequate. I also appreciate your not being afraid to talk about God and prayer. Being thankful for all that He has done, is doing and will do is a life changer! Looking forward to your future videos!
Hi Lynette, What a sweetheart you are - and a Cowboy to boot!! Wow!! Alan went to OSU all four years and I was just there for just one semester. I LOVED it! Unfortunately, though, the boyfriend I was trying to escape by going to OSU, got hold of me again and I came back home to my local university. OSU is wonderful and we still go to the occasional homecoming game there. Hideaway Pizza is awesome too! Yes, God is good. I try very hard to not push my beliefs on others, but sometimes they come out. You are so right about being thankful. It's the ONLY way to enjoy our lives. Love you hon!! XXOO
I think an important life lesson is to embrace all the aspects of who we are and that includes loving ourselves on the days when we feel less than. Giving up the need to be perfect or live in a perfect world is liberating. You've really come through this with flying colors . . . and you look great!
Hi sweetie, You are so right! Perfection is really a character defect and it doesn't bring happiness with it. I really fight that perfection urge too much. The only thing we can do is just give it all to God and realize that he will bring the things we really need and the things that are good for us. How are things going on your channel? You are just so beautiful and honest. Your channel is awesome!! XXOO
Beth, things are going well for me. Thanks for asking. My goal, when starting my channel was to reach out to people and share my experiences in the hopes they might help someone else on their journey. The unexpected benefit to me is the wonderful community of friends I've found in this unlikely corner of the universe.
Hello! I’m so happy to have found your channel! I’m 46 and having my right knee replaced soon. The plan is to have the left knee replaced shortly after. I really appreciate that you shared your candid, faith based experience! So happy you are doing well and glad to know a bit more of what to expect. Just being able to walk without my knee locking up is what I’m looking forward to. God is on the move!
Hi Natalie, I am glad you are having the surgery as having our knee lock up must be uncomfortable. I had a very good initial recovery, but then I kind of peaked. I am about five months out and my knee is still a tiny bit swollen and doesn't feel totally normal yet, but the surgeon said it can take a year until you are able to kind of forget you had anything done. I just wanted to tell you that so you know that if you have a bit of discomfort for while that it's very normal. I just said a prayer for your perfect outcome. Bless you! XXOO . PS . I just subscribed to your channel. Congratulations! You look wonderful!
Thank you for posting so much positive information! I'm 49 and 5 days away from my first knee replacement. The information and your have provided has been really good for me to see, as a matter of fact I shed a tear of relief just from your video and released resistance :)
Hi Melissa, Good luck on your knee replacement! I am about six months out now and finally really glad I did it. The first five months I could still feel a little bit of discomfort. Now I am back on the treadmill though and rarely feel it. VERY glad I did it. just don't let a resident close your wound. My doctor had a resident and he did a terrible job closing and my scar is not very good. XXOO
Beth, please remember your channel is also about inner beauty. Your positive attitude always cheers me up and makes me feel good. Please don't feel like it is superficial at all. I always love the messages you send about attitude too! And you're right, it should not be about being 35 again. I am 36 and still trying to get through the bar exam and figure out my career, you wouldn't want to go in reverse! Glad you are feeling better!
Congratualtions Cindy! That's awesome that you're getting through the bar exam! I know how hard you must have worked for that. That is a wonderful accomplishment. Thanks so much for your kinds words. Good luck in your awesome new career! XXOO
Hello! I'm so happy to see you after your knee replacement surgery. You are so kind to share your experience. Your family is beautiful, like YOU and good friends are such a blessing. I wish you all the best as you recover. The messages you leave at the end of your videos are very special. Thank you. God is good. My prayers continue. Hugs from Illinois.
Thanks so much Bernadette and thanks also to your sweet kitty!! Every time I see her/him, it warms my heart!! I LOVE kitties! Thanks also for your many kind words and healing prayers. With all your lovely support, how can I not heal?? I truly appreciate your encouragement. XXOO
You look fabulous! Praying for a speedy recovery. Thank you for including us.
Thanks so much Victoria! You are a swetheart!! XXOO
Thank you Thank you Thank you for this video. I’m so thankful that I found this video today. I am scheduled for knee replacement on 5/22 /19. I have been dreading it but your words of encouragement and faith really ministered to me today. I need to change my thinking and pray more💕
Hi Carol, I won't say that it's easy to get through but I believe in six months to a year after the surgery you will be so glad! I am so happy I had it done. I used to not be able to walk a block without swelling and now I can walk miles and even work out again. I know it will give you a new lease on life as it has done for me. Blessings to you. Beth
she also doesn't say anything about having to lay on your back only as it's too painful to lie on your side. My GF is going nuts with the pain and she is in a recliner. Very difficult to sleep thru the pain. Also u will need somebody to look after you 24/7 for the 1st 3 weeks. Food, bed changes, help to get up to bathroom. I move slow so when I get close to the BR, I pee my nightie or PJs. The Rx will make you depressed that's the side effects of them. Pain meds are always constipating. Altho' I am 5 weeks still no appetite at least the nausea and vomiting {from pain} has now stopped. It's not the sweet easy recovery u see this gal going thru....
Busy B Farm knee
I'm 8 weeks now, knee still swollen and stiff! Can't stand on it very long, and forget walking for exercise, it keeps clicking and trying to buckle! And that's with physical therapy! It is not an easy recovery!
Wow. Such a positive person, aren't you? Maybe you're just weaker than the rest of us. If that's the case, I wouldn't be posting on somebody else's video telling the world.
I'm so excited to see this video. I'm having the same surgery in a few weeks. Glad I get to see you go through it before me. Happy healing!
Mary! Congratulations!! Like me, you don't look OLD enough for a knee replacement! LOL! One really great thing about your being younger though is that you will heal more quickly and bounce back sooner. Sweetie, it's not an easy process and the first week you may not like it, but it gets better fairly soon. Just do all your PT exercises. I will be thinking of you and will add you to my prayers Mary. I just said a prayer for you to have a perfect operation and quick healing. XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty oh thanks so much for the prayers! I know I'll be a rough first week or so but I'm committed to doing the physical therapy afterwards. I have a few before exercises I'm suppose to do before to strengthen my muscles. It's suppose to help recovery if your muscles are built up.
I love my diet cherry coke too. Horrible for me I know but it's my only vice.
I had a knee replaced Thursday, it’s Sunday now. My experience was exactly like yours. I had a great, easy time in the hospital and very little pain. In fact, the day after surgery before I went home, the PT had me climbing stairs since we have them here at home. On Friday night, at home, things suddenly took a turn for the worse as far as pain and mobility. I really appreciate this video and now I know that pattern is somewhat “normal”. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome and thanks so much for sharing your experience. You are so right! At first the healing can seem like a piece of cake and then it can feel VERY difficult! In fact, just when I thought I had made a major mistake in having it done at about the six month point, everything turned around and I was healed! I wish you well and pray for your total, wonderful recovery. It was one of the best things I ever did for myself and I know you will be so glad! XXOO
Yes!
I have to tell you that I thought you looked beautiful without makeup. I'm so glad that you have a great support team and wonderful doctors, nurses and physical therapist. I love your positive attitude and giving thanks before surgery. I send you my best wishes. Hugs to you.
Thanks so much Art!! You're a sweetheart!! XXOO
Hi, you are an inspiration for me. I am going for knee replacement surgery Dec19. I play a lot of Pickkleball and the pain is effecting my quality of life. You have convinced me that I have made the right decision. It's been a tough year with the loss of my wife to Ovarian Cancer and my dog who passed a month later . You are beautiful inside and out. Thanks for the video. Pray for me.Lol
Steve
Thank you Beth 🙏 I'm just about to have a total knee replacement and am a little nervous....You've made me feel a whole lot better .💙
My doctor is recommending total knee replacement. I'm very reluctant but I have surgery scheduled for June 1. You video very was encouraging!
Congratulations! I am 7 months out and now feel it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My knee used to swell continually and I couldn't even walk a few blocks. Now I'm on the treadmill every morning for 30 minutes with no problems at all. It is rough for the first few months but after that I think you'll find it's very worth it. This Saturday I will be posting another followup knee replacement video with more information about the process. Good luck! XXOO
J Lowell, it'll be the best thing ever! I am 21 days post op and the pain is about the same as before surgery. My operation was my first one ever and I'm 62 yo! I'm a healthy woman but overweight. I too stopped using my walker about a wk ago. I do my exercises 2-3x a day, take my meds for "pain management" and ICE, ICE, ICE! For the first time in a year, I walked around my block. That was quite an accomplishment for me after the surgery. My P/T is awesome. I'm blessed. My insurance covers 6 home sessions so I don't have to worry about driving or transportation yet.
I occasionally use my cane when walking around house. I'm doing my chores ie. laundry, cooking, keeping house neat. Whew, I sure feel it when I've pushed hard and done too much. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
Don't be afraid, be prepared and ready to enjoy life again!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty What is rough about the first few months?
Blessings to you Beth on your recovery. Your positive spirit will pull you through! 🙏🏻❤️💕
Thanks so much Alison! I appreciate your encouragement!! XXOO
Praying for a continued speedy recovery Beth.
Thanks so much lovely Cheryl. I appreciate it!! XXOO
Thank you for posting. Your testimony blessed my soul. I'm scheduled for surgery February 1st. I'm praying and believing for a pain free speedy recovery. I pray that my physical healing will Glorify the Lord!
Hi Angela. Thank you so much for sharing that and I know God will be with you. You are in his hands and I wish you a beautiful speedy recovery.
Angela Yancey. 🙋🏾♀️
How did your surgery go?
Please let me know and I hope your healing well🙏🏾
@@jacquelines3685 Good evening! GLORY to God!!! My surgery and recovery went well! In fact, my Physical Therapist is reducing the number of days I attend because I am doing so well. God is Ever Faithful!!!! Thank you so much for your prayers. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@aliddellyancey
Thanks so much for replying! I'm thrilled to hear you are recovering so well! God is Good!🙏🏾. My Orthopedic surgeon says I need a knee replacement. I'm 60. I'm terrified. I was scheduled for this past January & cancelled. I've lost about 25 much needed pounds. I'm doing Exercises to strengthen my Glutes not Hamstring because I feel that was hurting my knee more. My knee feels so much better now...but I'm still confused if I should have the Knee replacement or just keep doing what I'm doing...sooo confused & scared.
I'm so Happy it's behind you now & keep healing and going forward my friend ❤️
Great video! I'm at almost 48 hours post op for a partial right knee replacement and this is where I'm at so far. Day 01 - During surgery, I had a spinal block which meant I had no pain for the first 24 hours and refused all pain meds. I felt like a rock star during this time and was doing all the range of motion exercises and walked up and down the hospital hall with the walker. I did so well, they took the walker away and I started using a cane! Day 02 - Big Surprise, as the spinal block wore off I started feeling the pain. I did well in PT during the morning and was released from the hospital. After I got home, the pain became unbearable and I was forced to give in to the pain medications. That night walking with a cane was difficult, but I pushed through. The range of motion exercises have been a beast and I can't do as many or bend my knee like I did the first day. I'm a strong person, but last night the pain almost had me in tears. I did sleep 5 hours last night, so that's a plus. This morning at the start of day 03, I'm still in severe pain and have been icing the knee since getting up at 5:30 am. I did one small set of exercises (5 of each knee bend and straightening) and the pain is severe. I was going to try and power through this without the strong pain medications, but at this point I don't think I can do the exercises without them. I know things are still very early in my recovery, but I wanted to share my experience of the first couple of days after the surgery. For a little background, I'm a 50 year old male and have been experience severe knee pain the last 6 months. After having a scope in March, I was told I had bone on bone in 3 places (one knee compartment) due to arthritis. The surgeon made a game time decision regarding a full or partial replacement, so I woke up not knowing what I had. The partial is suppose to be a faster recovery, but at this point I'm second guessing that. Hope this helps someone reading the comments!
HI there. Thanks so much for sharing your experience as I know many readers here would love to read about your experience. Every one is different in terms of how they respond pain wise and please don't worry about taking the pain meds as that's what they are there for. My feeling is that if you helps you be able to do your PT it's worth it. Please don't even evaluate it too much until six months have passed. That was the time at which I finally realised it was a good thing to have done. Now I truly have my life back and am so glad I did it. I know in time you will feel that way too. Bless you and I wish you a great recovery. Beth
Yeah it ain't no piece of cake.

Pain meds are very important because otherwise your body gets sidetracked fighting the pain instead of healing.
I loved your Vlog and all the positivity you send out. And your family looks beautiful as you do, it is so important to have them around and your caring friends as well.
Thanks so much Graita. You are a sweetheart!! XXOO
First off, so thankful your surgery went well and you are healing! I started my channel after my sweet hubby died, just to bring me some joy. I agree, we can't turn back time but we can move forward and discover our new beauty!! Best wishes!!! 💕💕💕💕
Bless you sweetie. What a difficult thing to go through. I can't imagine how hard that is. I will put you in my prayers and check out your channel. XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty To say the least , it completely rocked me to my core!!! If it weren't for my faith in God, I would not be surviving this!!! It would mean so much to have you visit my channel. It is hard to get noticed in a world of young UA-camrs!!! Have a wonderful day! 💕
So glad your surgery went well. Continued success as you go along!
Thanks Jen. I'm so glad to have you!! XXOO
Hi Beth, you are doing exceptionally well, being positive really helps. My husband is at the three week stage, he is not using any walking aids at all, had a physio session yesterday and she told him he is at the 3 month stage. Lots of hugs, xx
Jan, I am so happy for your husband! Wow! It sounds like he and I are about at the same stage. I was three weeks this past Friday. I am so glad for him!! XXOO
Glad your doing so well! Praying for your speedy recovery! Lisa
Thanks so much Lisa! You're a sweetheart! Your lovely smile just warms my heart! XXOO
I'm so glad the surgery went well! You are such a beautiful person inside and out! I'm glad I found your channel!!!! 💚💙❤️
Hi Miss Butterfly, I am so glad you found me to! I am so happy to have you with us!! XXOO
Karen, Thanks for the update . I am glad you are doing good after surgery. My husband had a knee replacement a year ago. And you are so right about the first week. They had him keep ice on knee the first few weeks for swelling. Actually it was a machine you put ice in and wrap cloth around knee. Have a great Friday. 💐
Hi Debbie, Your husband was so lucky to have had that machine. I hear it really helps. Blessings to you both! Have a great weekend! XXOO
Debbie Hill
Glad you are doing well. Your parents and friends are so sweet and it was nice of them and your son to visit you. Thanks for taking us along. XOXO
Thanks so much Victoria for your kind comment. It's always nice to see your lovely face!! XXOO
Beth so happy to see you are recovering quickly. The lovely thing about the 2nd half of our lives is you know what's important and what to give your energy to. The clips of your family and friends says this about you. 💖💖. Can't wait for your next video💋
Hi sweet Helen, You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I have to admit that I was feeling a bit down the day I edited that video, then I realized through seeing the footage how much love I have in my life. I was kind of blown away by it. Blessings to you sweetie. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! XXOO
Praise to God that all is going well. May your recovery be the best possible.
Thanks so much Mary Lee! I appreciate your kindness and your great healing thoughts!! XXOO
So glad to hear you are doing well, Beth. I wish you the best of luck as you move forward in your recovery. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Marianne, You're a sweetheart! Thanks so much for the healing thoughts and encouragement. XXOO
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Three years ago I had knee surgery and he did what he could, but he said that evenually I will need knee replacement surgery. Ortho doctor said that he wants me to hold off as long as I can because he feels that I am too young to have the surgery- I am 42. So since I have had the surgery I have cortisone shots every 3 months. My knee hurts so bad right now that I made an appointment to with the orotho. I might need to have another MRI- my knee doesn't feel stable. That appointment is next Wednesday. I am amazed at how good you look after surgery and how positive you are. Sending good wishes and prayers for healing. Take care!!
Hi Jodi, Our stories are similar. I had a torn meniscus surgery about 3-4 years ago that really did about nothing. Then I started on the shots every three months but they quit working. I just got so tired of not being able to take walks without my knee swelling. My surgeon told me that now new knees last about 20 years. Good luck with your doctor's appointment. You deserve to live without pain. Just this morning I stopped taking the one pain pill I was still taking each day. It is still swollen and it hurts a bit but every day it's getting better. Blessings to you. Let me know what he says! XXOO
Hello, i had RA for 15 yrs, and i have healed it with whole food plant based diet, and by reading Louise hey's you can heal your life. But due to old damage i may have to go for Knee replacement at a very early age of 40, i was too worried and full of negative thaughts, watching your video gave me motivation to accept the situation and moov on in life, hopefully wil have a wonderful outcome. Thanks for sharing your journey.
It sounds like her stories are nearly identical. I also had to have a knee replacement as a result of the RA damage at a very young age. I think I was maybe fifty which for me was young. Having the knee replacement was the best thing I ever did and I think you will also enjoy it. Of course that or this is a decision you’ll have to make with your doctor but good luck!
You are still so pretty even without makeup, loved all your beauty comments the day after you had your surgery, so true all the things you said. Praying for a rapid and successful recovery.
Thanks so much for the lovely compliments. I am recovering very nicely. Four weeks out now and everything is going very well. Have a great week hon! XXOO
Yes, nurses are awesome people! You looked amazing after your surgery and I pray for a speedy recovery. My mom-in-law's knee recovered well HOWEVER...she lost he sense of taste post anesthesia. She's one year post surgery, still can't taste. So frustrating. She eats strictly for texture. I love that you glorify God. 😊🦋🌺
Wow Nancy! I am so sorry for your mom! I never heard of that happening! Bless her heart. My grandfather lost his sense of smell and he couldn't taste either - he was mugged and hit on the head. Yes, I do glorify God. I wouldn't be here today if not for him. Love and blessings to you. XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty .... gosh, I'm sorry about your Grandfather. Glad he survived!
I'm so glad the procedure went so well! This is a fabulous story you're sharing with us!💞💖❤️ love you!
Thanks so much for your encouragement Linda. Love and hugs to you! XXOO
How wonderful to have people who care! I came home the 2nd night and had to care for myself alone. I was alone physically but I wasn't alone spiritually. Adonai takes such very good care of me! God bless you!
I am so glad your creator is taking such good care of you. Blessings to you and going it alone in terms of people support though. It is a pretty hard thing to get through and it sounds like you are very strong which is wonderful. Good luck in your healing. Having a knee replacement was the best thing I ever did.
Hello, I was very happy for you sharing your experience with the process, I wish you a full recovery, and may God guide you. Your view of the beauty of the soul is very beautiful. Greetings from Saudi Arabia
Thanks so much! I am actually about a year and half past that surgery and I could not be more pleased. It's like I have my life back. Where I couldn't walk a block without swelling before the surgery, now I can walk miles on the treadmill with no swelling at all. It is wonderful! XXOO
Thank you so much for this video, particularly the details. I was told two months ago I need a knee replacement. Fortunately, I am not in much pain most of the time so I can hold off a bit. I'm moving to a new city for a new job, so I need to wait. Your philosophical thoughts were lovely. I agree that internal beauty is more important than external, BUT if I look my best on the outside I feel more confident overall. One thing I've found is that no matter how old we get, we are still young inside. I'm never going to look 35 again, as you said, but at least now my skin is brighter each morning and my makeup doesn't tack on the years. I like being 59, but want to be the best 59 I can be. You put a lot of time into this channel. I really appreciate the content, wherever it goes. You are sweet and you care and it shows. I really liked your makeup, particularly the lips, on the video of the morning before surgery! Lovely look! Take care of yourself as you continue to heal. Hopefully you will be "absolutely" (love that!) 100% before long. Robin
Hi Robin, I LOVED everything you said! You are so right! I guess that's why we ladies do what we do and why we continually love working with our makeup, hair, fashion, etc. It helps us feel good when we look our best! You are so right. I want to be the best 59, 75, 85 etc I can be! I still remember Alan's grandmother. At 88, she still made sure her necklace, earrings and purse matched her polyester pantsuit. I always admired her attention to her appearance and I hope you and I both follow in her example! Bless you sweetie. You are a smart one!! XXOO
You are so brave to share this experience with us. Thank you so much. I'm enjoying your videos too. I hope you have a quick recovery and enjoy your new knee!!
Thanks so much for your good wishes Tim. I am three weeks out and doing well! I hope you have a wonderful week! XXOO
Oh my goodness you are so sweet, so glad I found you on youtube. Beth I wish you a speedy recovery and joy, laughter and love in your second half. You inspire me. I have had knee problems and next week I have an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. It will be my second time going in and getting a cortisone shot in the knee. It really helps a lot but I am concerned that in the not to distant future I will be looking at a knee replacement. So happy you are doing well, love and big hugs for you. Lacy
Hi Lacy, I used to LOVE getting those injections, but unfortunately, for me, they stopped working. I hope yours work forever!! XXOO
I am lying in my bed resting right now from right knee replacment on the 13th... Glad you replacement went well...Mine is just starting to make a break through towards recovery.. What a roller coaster of emotions an at least for me I feel that it has stirred up my hormones with increased hot flashes. Thank you for your post...it makes the ride less lonely.
Hi Shelly, Bless your heart! The first week or so it REALLY difficult and you are right - it is a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. I'm three weeks out now and I have to admit that it is still a bit of a roller coaster. I had a viewer whose husband and sister both had knee replacements tell me her that it's really about six months before you are normal again and kind of forget about your knee. That comment reminded me that I must have patience. Blessings to you for a wonderful recovery. Try to do everything the PT recommends. I will be thinking of you. XXOO
I am so happy to see that you are doing well. I've had several surgeries and the first week usually is hard, but every week gets better. I pray every week gets better for you until you are better than before! Take care, God bless!
Hi Rachelle, Thanks SO much for reminding me about the first week, which was NOT fun. You are right that recovery is a gradual process and it just takes time and it does get better and better. This is my first day without the one remaining pain pill I was taking and it's going well. Thanks for the encouragement and God Bless you too! XXOO
Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts! You are such a great example! ❤️❤️
Hi sweet Kristi. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I appreciate it so much!! XXOO
The first week is tough for any surgery, but so glad you are doing so well. Thank you for sharing with us your family and friends and the inspirational cards! You look beautiful!
Thanks so much Elena for the compliments. It is ALWAYS great to hear from you!! XXOO
You are so sweet and an amazing inspiration. You take care. God Bless you and your beautiful family. 💖
Hi lovely Joanne. God bless you as well sweetie. Love and hugs to you! XXOO
Thank you for this💕
I'm having a TKR in 3 weeks and I'm going to follow your advice and love your positive attitude.
Yay for a healthy future.
Being older does not mean not being the healthiest person you can be!!
Hi Ginger, Good luck with your TKR. I am about 2 1/2 months out and the knee is pretty good. Still a bit swollen and a bit uncomfortable, but no real pain. My surgeon did say the swelling takes 6 months to subside and it could take up to a year though, so please be patient with your recovery and do your PT religiously. Good luck! XXOO
You are in my prayers for a successful recovery.
Thanks Michelle. That means the world to me!! XXOO
Hi there..so glad you are doing well..I have had 3 knee replacements so I know what you are going through..I'm happy for you that all is well. God bless!!
Oh my Linda!! Why did you have three?? God bless YOU!! Do you have any tips?? XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty I had both knees replaced in 2007 6 months apart..my left knee didn't hold up ..not sure what happened but the entire year of 2015 I had such knee pain in my left knee I could barely walk..finally had the re-do of the left knee in December of 2015..my surgeon said my knee fell apart when they opened it up..now I can walk but my doctor says I walk with a guarded gait..my way of walking has changed..not sure why other than the new knee..I have gone through physical therapy twice..no change. I hope yours goes well ..I feel your pain of recovery. God bless..Linda xoxo
My tip for you is ..make sure to do all of your physical therapy ..go slow don't rush and do all of your exercises..also stay active,,good luck!!🙏🏻😘
I am 6 weeks.past my second knee replacement and 3 months past my first. Still in a lot of pain but sooooo happy i have done both. Cant wait for a hike. Writing this.on my baby elliptical. 15 minuted. Thanks for video
Hi Gloria. I am so glad you got a knee replacement in fact two of them and so glad that it worked for you! Having my knee replaced totally improved my life too.
I love your positive attitude. I'm sure that played a part in your quick recovery. I'am 51 yrs old and have been told that I need a TKR. Your video was very inspiring. Thank you!
Hi sweetie, I am about six months out now and it is really getting much, much better. I can now walk on a treadmill again, where I couldn't do so for years. I will tell you though that my recovery initially was very rapid - in fact, the doctor was kind of amazed. Then it did slow down though and I had some discomfort and a bit of swelling which lasted for months. In the new year I plan to make a part two to that video to explain how the rest of the healing went. They say it's normal for it to take a full year for the new knee to feel totally normal again. That's normal. I just wanted you to know that. Being able to exercise again makes me very happy I did it. Blessings to you. I know yours will go well too if you do get it. Have a great Christmas! XXOO
Thank you so much for your quick reply, so sweet of you. Prior to your surgery, did your knee get worse in the winter time? My knee is tolerable throughout most of the year, besides the fact of only having 90° range of motion. However, in the winter time it starts to really stiffen up and get really sore by the end of the day. These flare ups are becoming more frequent. Its so depressing to me that I can't go on long walks with my wife, or hike up a mountain with my kids to see a beautiful view. Its for these reasons that I'am looking at youtube videos about the TKR surgery and seriously thinking of biting the bullet and doing it. If I have to have a revision surgery in 15 or 20 years, so be it.
Did you feel any difference when you started eating a paleo diet? I have heard that cutting out inflammatory foods in you diet can make the flare ups less frequent.
Thank you so much!
You are a beautiful woman on the outside, and an extraordinary woman on the inside. It's your internal beauty that shines even through hospitalization for knee surgery. Sending loving healing thoughts your way.
Valdina, What a kind, wonderful thing to say. I truly believe that what we say about others is really what's in our own heart. You, my dear lady, have a beautiful, kind heart. I appreciate your being here so much! XXOO
I'm so glad that things went well and that you're on the mend Beth. Thank you for sharing your journey because some day that will be me getting my knee replaced but I'm putting it off as long as possible by getting the synvisc injections which work great for me and I'm due for another round now.
When you were talking about not wearing makeup and true beauty, here's the way I look at it. I can get up in the morning and not put makeup on at all and still be me all day. I look at my environment and the people around me and through my eyes, everything is the same as if I DO have makeup on. It's not until I look in the mirror that I see what others see but then I question, do they see Karen with no makeup or do they see the real Karen who has her personality, inner beauty, compassion, love, laughter, sadness and every other emotion and and trait that is really me and what God gave me when I was born?
You know that I love and adore makeup but that's my mask and my way of expressing myself and like you, it brings me joy. It wasn't until came to that realization of looking at the world through my eyes, makeup or not, what was important for people to see about me. I hope this all makes sense but that became an eye opener for me.
Keep getting better and thank you for sharing your joy with us as it becomes our joy too. Hugs! Karen
Karen, Nice to hear from you and what you said makes PERFECT sense! Also, others don't really even think about us at all, as they are busy thinking about themselves, so it REALLY doesn't matter what we look like.
I love your channel and your true beauty ALWAYS comes through whether or not you are wearing makeup. How are things with you? I hope your mom is well. Blessings to you! XXOO
Pray you will be well soon. I had rheumatoid arthritis since my twenties, and had knee surgery years ago. My age now is 59, and thanks to green smoothies I walk/run over an hour a day. My joints have literally healed due to greens and healthy eating.
Cheryl, You are the second viewer who has told me that today! Wow! It is amazing how helpful the greens are. Thanks for that reminder. I've been getting a little lax with my diet and I need to focus on adding more fruits and veggies. Thanks so much for that reminder. I appreciate it! XXOO
Also, vitamin MK2 (to help absorb the vitamin D), Omega D3, vitamin D, and some sunshine because the vitamin D from the sun heals the joints (even if its the palms of your hands instead of the skin). I have learned a lot from Dr. Berg, Dr Axe, and Dr. Bergman from youtube...You are my new favorite you tuber, and wish you the best health! I recently have been trying your workout suggestions, and already see results. Love your personality, and could not be more jealous of your arms and beautiful skin.....
I’ve had TKR also.
I kept waiting until the recovery pain got serious, (and it does) never happened on this video. Don’t be fooled, it’s a serious year long journey that I’m glad I went through. I’m pain free, active, and grateful. I’m also 68
Hi Mark, I am totally with you. I'm about to do a second video about the surgery recovery process. It did get much harder. I'm about 7 months out and I'm just now feeling like it was a good thing to do. XXOO
Sending prayers and hugs.
Thanks Susan. It means the world to me and thanks for being here!! XXOO
Aww.. thanks so much for sharing this experience with us. Everyone is so different in their recovery but a couple of things you mentioned hold true for just about everyone. The first is how you felt your first week post op. Between being uncomfortable, immobile and all the drugs that have passed through your body it's no wonder that first week is rough. I'm glad you talked about this for anyone who may be considering surgery or has just had it. Thankfully, this phase passes. I'm also glad you talked about mobility and aspirin in terms of preventing blood clots. Last year my daughter developed a DVT in her calf after foot surgery. She's also a nurse and was so careful but ended up with one anyway. She then ended up with a pulmonary embolism and was a very sick young lady.. I did not leave her side for 5 days (because you know, no one could take care of her as well. Lol). Anyway, with each new video you just looked like you felt better in each.. Im so glad that the surgery is now behind you and you can continue on the road to full recovery.. Keep up the good work and happy healing!! XOXO Sue
Hi Sue, Bless you on what you went through with your sweet daughter! I am so glad it all worked out alright. Thanks also for reminding me of the important of continuing to take that aspirin. I heard of a young women who didn't take it and DIED of a blood clot! You are right about the first week being hell. It really was! Just this morning though I am three weeks out and finally feel optimistic again! Thanks for that bit of encouragement Sue. I appreciate it. XXOO
I'm so happy for you that your surgery went well! God bless! ♡♡♡
Thanks so much for your kind comments. I am so glad you're here! XXOO
Thank u so much for sharing ur experience! U hv given me hope as I too, am in need of both knee replacements. I will add u to my prayers and well wishes🙏🏻🌷. Pls pray for me if u don't mind🤗
Hi Lolu, I WILL pray for you! My sister and I pray every morning at work and I will add you to my prayers. I hope you are able to get your new knees soon. I am three weeks out and totally off pain pills. It's still a bit uncomfortable but it does take time to get totally healed. Bless you sweetie. You deserve to live pain free. XXOO
I'm not trying to scare anyone against having this surgery, but I'm 2 weeks out, and I'm in a rehab, and honestly. The pain has been pure hell. My surgeon never offered the choice of having an epidural. I couldn't lift my leg up a few inches off the the bed the first week. I now can lift it several inches. I'm praying that this will get better and I'm sure it will, and I had prayers also
This womans experience is not the norm. I wished it was. I personal don't think that I'll ever do my other knee based on this pain
I am so sorry you are having a rough go of it Maria. I truly think you will see great improvements in the coming weeks and months. Bless you hon and I wish you well. XXOO
Maria, it sounds like researching doctor's credentials and referrals might have helped. This type of operation had become so advanced, we are walking a few hours after this major surgery. My young surgeon does not believe in catheters, motion machines or regab facilities. I pray your situation will improve soon. I learned a lot by watching YT videos by doctors, trainers and generous people like this lovely lady sharing their stories. Please take control of your healthand get that knee moving!
You look absolutely beautiful. No one would believe you just had surgery - girl, you are gorgeous, keep doing what you are doing. Sending love your way.
Bless you Tim! XXOO
i had foot surgery today (July 21st). Stitches and a cast. So weird that we are having surgery so close together. I agree about the nurses. The surgery wing was cold in my hospital as well. My surgery was in and out. It's funny you can move your foot and I can move my knee. Between us we have one healthy leg. I hope that you have a speedy recovery. I pray as well. The card you read certainly applied to me as well.
Hi Lynn, We DO have a healthy leg together!! Wow! That's funny that we both had our surgeries so close together. Blessings and prayers to you for a speedy recovery. XXOO
So happy I came across your video! I'm having partial knee replacement in April and can't wait for same reasons as you, one being I really miss the treadmill and walking up and down stairs is ridiculous. I'm 56 but feel 26 inside lol. Thanks for all the good tips and I look forwarding to following you for your beauty tips as well.
Hi sweetie, Congrats on having the knee replacement. I am 7 months out and I have a tip for you. DON'T let your surgeon let a resident close your knee. The resident who closed my knee created a very large scar and his comment after the surgery was "You can't expect me to be perfect!" Well, I really had thought the surgeon was doing the whole surgery so that was kind of a shock to me. Also, understand that for 6-9 months you may still have a bit of discomfort and may even second guess have had it done. I actually did that for six months but now a month later than that I am back on the treadmill with no pain and swelling at all! I am SO glad I had it done. Good luck hon. I will be posting my following video #2 soon. XXOO
Thanks for the tips. It has been on my mind about a resident so I think I will make it clear to my surgeon that no resident will do any work on me. They can watch that's it. I'm ready to get back on the treadmill!
You have such a lovely family. You are so beautiful inside and out and I think you look like you could easily pass for 40. Take care, I'm glad your surgery went well thanks for the video.
Thanks so uch Kathy! Your kind words are very encouraging!! XXOO
I'm having a total knee replacement on May 18. I am so afraid of the pain! I am having an Epidural as well, never had one before giving birth to my children. That scares me also. You don't look like you are in much pain, that is very encouraging to me. Thanks for posting this Video. I know God let me see this so I would not be so scared! Sending Love from North Carolina, Vivian
Yes. The pain was more discomfort and it’s quite manageable. 💝💝💝
I’m so glad I found this. I’m 35 and having a partial knee replacement on July 25th. I’ve known that I would have this surgery at some point but now that it’s on the books I’ve been freaking out. This has helped calm me down a bit. Thanks so much!!
Hi Heather. Congratulations. I am six months out from the surgery and feeling excellent about it. Before the surgery I couldn't even go for a walk without my knee swelling. Now I am back on the treadmill for thirty minutes a day. Just remember that it can take up to a year before you feel totally healed. Good luck! XXOO
Hope all is well! I’m 34 and I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteo arthritis I have to have a full knee replacement soon I was nervous but watching your video helped.
Hi Terri, Good luck with you knee replacement. For the first six months after I wasn't sure, but now I am really overjoyed about it! In fact, I have been on the treadmill every day for the past several months and I have my life back. It is. one of the best things I ever did! I will be thinking of you and hoping for your perfect result! XXOO
Thank you for your video’s I only came across your hip replacement today and have just watched your knee replacement one, I am 75 and have put off having knee replacement for 10 years, I am on awaiting list 🙏🏻🙏🏻 now that it won’t be too long my life quality is painful , but I kept believing my knee would improve , silly stubborn lady I am .
Watching you go through both you have inspired me thank you . 🙏🏻💕🌺
Hi Margaret. I totally get where you were coming from as these surgeries do seem so major. I really hope you will consider seriously getting the knee surgery. Although the first six months were a bit difficult, and you do have to keep up with your PT, once that period was over, I felt it was the best thing I ever did to have any replacement. It’s like I don’t even feel my knee at all anymore if I can do everything I used to be able to do when it was much younger. God bless you and I wish you well in your decision.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty thank you for the encouragement, I’ll let you know after it happens 🙏🏻💕, and yes I’m on a waiting list to get mine done have been for 6 month’s now so hopefully it won’t be too much longer I’m looking forward to being able to walk properly without pain , I realise it won’t happen overnight.
I’m trusting GOD just as you did , I walk by faith . GOD bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
From Australia 🇦🇺
Just found out you had knee surgery!!!! I pray that you have a very fast recovery!!!! God Bless
Hi Pearl, I'm six month out now and doing well! XXOO
I knew you were having knee surgery but i didnt understand it was going to be a total knee replacement !! Prayers for healing & protection ! You look wonderful . You dont even look like you have had major surgery ! God Bless You , Beth .....we all just want to look the best we can at any age . And education ...i knew to use sunscreen but i had the hardest time finding a sunscreen that didnt burn my eyes until UA-cam came into my life .... I love that you try to keep the cost of your recommendations on the low side ...Till next time, Blessings , Myra
Hi Myra, Nice to hear from you. Yes, I really like the drugstore brands and I really like that Essence line. I like it because for a couple of dollars you can get a nice lipstick or a great mascara. You can have a variety of great products with that line - maybe even a full face of makeup - and still stay well under $20. I know what you mean about the sunscreen. I am about to run out of the expensive one I currently use and am on the lookout for a less expensive alternative. Love you hon! XXOO
You are amazing & beautiful!!! What an inspiration---keep up the good work! Prayers for a continued great recovery!!! Love your videos!!!
Thanks so much for the sweet wishes Cathy. I appreciate it so much!! Also, I am so glad you're here!! XXOO
I did not know you had a knee replacement I was looking online and your video came up! I trust everything that you say in this video because I have been watching your make up videos for about a year now and I absolutely love you on those videos so I was very excited and happy to see you over here talking about your knee replacement. Not that I’m happy you had to have it but you know what I mean I hope you are still doing well I am going to be having mine hopefully this summer. Thank you for a great video once again you are beautiful inside and out actually you are gorgeous !! Looking good is feeling good and feeling good is looking good they really do go together and I also have faith that if I put it out there that everything will work out fine then it will. Thank you again and your parents look great tell them hello from South Florida and hello to you too and your husband and your entire family we love you.❤️😘🌺🙏😃🤗😇😍💐
Bless you and thank you so much!! You are a true sweetheart. The knee replacement truly turned out wonderfully well! Thanks for your nice comment and for watching. Have a beautiful weekend!💝💝💝
I'm so great you doing good, my mom having her knee replacement done today. I hope her c
Recovery goes good well too.
Hi swetie, I'm six weeks out and doing very well. I hope your mom's results are amazingly great. XXOO
I truly appreciated this video for so many reasons. For encouragement for me to have mine done. When you were talking about your channel, I was so afraid you were gonna say "you were quitting" , I Said Out Loud, "let that be the Drugs". Lol.....So so happy to see for myself that you are doing so good. I have a couple of questions so I'm gonna private message you so this isn't so long. But just wanted you to know how happy I am for you and so happy to see you
Hi Margaret, Thanks so much for your lovely comment and feel free to PM me as I know you may have questions. So far, I am pleased to have had the knee replacement, although I am totally impatient to get to complete recovery! This will take awhile. Thanks also for the kind words about my channel. Yes, I think the pain meds got me a bit TOO introspective! I really love doing videos and the channel. You are a sweetheart and I am so glad to have you! XXOO
love what you said about life being a constant lesson, it is, you are so inspiring and encouraging bless you
God bless you too Tom! XXOO Beth
I am going to be having this surgery pretty soon. My knee is robbing me of my life and all the things I used to love to do. Thank you so much for sharing your journey to better health. God's bless.
God bless you too Frances. Just do your PT. I know you will love it! XXOO Beth
Oh sorry I missed this...my husband has had 2 replacements (separate times) and he rocked it..you will also! Good luck Beth xo
Nice to hear from you Trish. I'm so glad to hear your husband did so well! That is great news and encouraging for me as well! Have a great rest of your weekend! XXOO
You will be SO happy! Glad it is over with. You did great Beth!
Thanks so much for your comment Constance. I am so glad it's over! XXOO
What a beautiful family you have! your parents look amazing! They are so cute.😘. Your knee surgery went so well...that's wonderful!
Hi Nancy, Thanks so much for the compliments about my parents! I will pass that on! Thanks also for your kind encouragement about the surgery. I'm now three weeks out and it's going well. XXOO
I’m going in feb 15th for mine and I am scared to death! Never been put to sleep before. I am 50 years old and this will be my first surgery. I’m happy to see ur video.
Congratulations on getting your knee surgery. Just follow up with the PT and your doctor say and I know you’ll be very pleased with the results. For the first six months after I worried that I’ve made a mistake getting it because my knee just felt a little uncomfortable. After about six months though I almost never feel my knee and it is made a huge difference in my life being able to walk without pain or swelling anymore. Also, when they put you out it feels pretty good. I always try to stay awake and enjoy it as they’re asking need to count backwards from 10 to 1. I actually envy you that you get to go through that. It’s pretty pleasant.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Thank you for that. But I’m still scared! Lol! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, just subscribed to your channel. I'm scheduled for a right knee replacement Sept 12th. I'm also 59. So glad to have watched this today. Thnx for sharing ur experience. I am so scared and keep wanting to back out but I know it needs done. Hope you are doing well. I look forward to watching your channel💕💕💕
Hi Jackie, Congratulations on making that decision. I will be thinking of you. The first few weeks is a bit rough but just make sure and do all your PT exercises and that will help you heal faster. Good luck to you hon. I know you will do great. XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty Thnx so much. Will you do any more follow up videos?💕💕
Sounds like it went well. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!
Thanks so much Louise. I am now three weeks out and things are going well. Thanks so much for being here. It means the world to me! XXOO
WOW.... I really loved this video. I'm about to go for a partial replacement and I've been terrified. Thank you so much for this great video !!!
Good luck! Just do all of your PT and you will do just fine I know. Blessings to you.
Mom had a partial 9 years ago...never happy with it..I just had a full...my doctor said they don't do partial anymore because to many complaints
U r such beautiful person ... hope your healing process goes well
Hi Carmen, Thanks for your nice comment. I hope you have a lovely day! 💝💝💝
You look wonderful I'm so happy the surgery went well I think attitude is so important and you have it 👍🏻
Hi Bonnie, Thanks so much for your kind words. You are a blessing to me! XXOO
I will be going along with you on this journey, but instead of the traditional knee replacement, I will be getting the Mako robotic replacement. God's Speed
Good luck to you! I hear that' a wonderful procedure! XXOO
I am having Mako tkr next month. How was your experience?
Finding this is a blessing because I will see the orthopedic doctor on Monday.
I'll have right knee replacement soon and the left one as well when I'm healed.
Too say I'm scared is an understatement I'm terrified of the unknown in this operation.
The epidural scares me though.
My double knee pain right now is excruciating and I hate taking pain pills so I avoid themes much as I can.
But I will take them after surgery.
Wishing you a speedy recovery you look amazing and are so positive.
I'm now a subscriber and will follow your progress.
Thank you for sharing your video.
Hi sweetie. I'm so glad you're a subscriber. I'm exactly 4 weeks out from the operation today and I woke up feeling very good! I have just some discomfort, not really something I would call pain, and there is still swelling but that is greatly reduced. Hon, from the sounds of it, this will really help your quality of life. Bless you in going through it. The first week is a challenge, but it's really pretty decent from then on. Just make sure and do your PT as they instruct. I will be thinking of you and sending prayers your way. XXOO
Had no idea you had this surgery or if you will see this comment.... you are strong woman! I️ need both knees done but I️ will not do it... fear ... not enough extra support system... but you are blowing my mind!
What you said about beauty is so very true ... no matter a woman’s size , make up or not... her soul and heart show through and make her beautiful. Make up is fun, skin care is great feeling and mentally great.
Please do follow up as to your healing! ❤️
Hi there, Thanks so much for your kind comments. I am six months out from that surgery and am now feeling it was a very good thing that I did it. After really years of not being able to walk without my knee swelling - I could not even walk a block without the swelling, I am now able to walk on the treadmill 30 minutes a day. I used to love working out and I am finally able to get back to it. Also, my mood which is often depressed has really improved as I've been able to use the treadmill. I will soon post my second video about the knee surgery healing process. I hope you will consider doing it as, for me, it greatly has improved my quality of life! Blessings to you!! XXOO
FiftyPlusBeauty I️ still do all my own yard work. We hired it out for few years but I️ had to do it again for my own joy and well being. It’s not easy but I️ plow through it. I pay for it at the end of the day but it gives me so much joy. My biggest fear is that something will go wrong and I will somehow be worse and not be able to get out there. I️ am a sunscreen addict and have spf hats! I️ wear leather gloves and am covered up like a mummy. Lol... but I️ just have to be out side... that good sweat is amazing ... I️ guess that’s gross... but I️ braid my hair and it’s covered at the end I️ squeeze the water from my braid! It’s feels great tho...like I️ said I️ am afraid of not being able to do this afterward and that would depress me! I️ will check with another dr! Look forward to next video on recovery . Great work.
Oh! I missed hearing about it. Sending prayers & good energy, from Boulder!
Hi Sally . Yes, I am three weeks out now and doing well. I really want to get to about three months out though as patience is not one of my virtues! LOL!! Thanks for the prayers and healing energy. Boulder sounds just lovely!! XXOO
So glad it was a good experience but of course I'm sure it was worse at sometime are another. My sister had knee replacement an wasn't a feel good experience! Good luck 🍀 👍 God is faithful 🙏🏻. Hoping for better days
Thanks so much Donna. I am about six weeks out now and off all pain/swelling meds. I am still doing my PT exercises and it's going well, but they say it can be up to a year before everything is totally normal again. Bless your sister. I hope she is doing well. God is faithful! XXOO
I just had my total knee replacement 2 weeks ago I was in so much pain after my surgery.now I’m going to therapy.
Hi Hanan, For the first month especially it is difficult to get through. It actually took me about six months before I was truly without pain and had full range of motion again. Keep the faith, it does get better. XXOO
My prayers are with you, God bless may your recovery be fast!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Pearl!! XXOO
So glad things went well, Beth! 😘
Thanks so much for asking Misty. they did go very well. It's still a few months until everything is totally back to normal, but I'm getting there. XXOO
