My Comeback Story: Linda F.
Still Kickin' Up a Storm!
After setting a surgery date, I went to my PT for exercises to strengthen my knee, in hope of a speedier recovery (it worked!!).
On surgery day, I encountered kindness and efficiency at every step of my journey, from receptionist to surgical staff to post recovery, right down to the guy who got me into our truck to go home! I knew what to expect beforehand and was armed with easily-understood post surgery instructions for home.
Tip: pay attention and follow instructions, especially walking as often as possible!
In a very short time I had ditched the walker and progressed quickly to twice-weekly PT work sessions, which were not easy, but YOU CAN DO IT...bend that knee!
Long story short, at 3 month follow-up with Dr.Tetreault, he quipped that I was 'ahead of the game' and it's been the same ever since. No pain. Strong knee. Barely visible scar. My one and ONLY concern; what will I experience if I should fall on that knee?!?!
That thought aside, I am going to schedule replacing my right knee with absolutely no qualms at all. Thank you, Dr. Tetreault and team!!
