It's fair to say that this last month has been the most challenging of my life. That might sound dramatic, but I am being sincere. The pain associated with a knee replacement is off the chart and cannot truly be described or fully appreciated unless you have been through the operation yourself. Add to this an intolerance to all opiate pain meds, and you can only begin to appreciate the challenges that I have faced.

OMG have I had some exciting mini triumphs today! I can't quite believe what I can now do..!

exactly 1 month post op. Today was a day of two halves. It started down low and finished a bit more positive, I'll explain why sunny days get me down when you'd expect it to be the opposite. Leg lifts still elude me as the blessed quad refuses to wake up, so here's what I'm doing about it.

Rant Alert! There are a number of things that are starting to irritate me in the questions and comments that I am getting lately, so I think it's time for THE REAL TRUTH.

Some small curious things have started to happen and I'm beginning to feel some positivity.

OMG you know your life has hit rock bottom when an unexpected trip to work becomes a highlight of your day! 😂 Plus I have an hilarious story to tell you about how I ended up being there!

A physio lecture reality check, another hilarious set of conversations at knee class and I got another horrid exercise to add to my collection! 😣

Today has been a down day. Several sets of tears and lots of frustration. I almost canned the Vlog but no, I committed to documenting this journey daily including downs as well as ups, so here's today's thoughts and one mini triumph to report.
