Aaah, it is the power in those fine looking, dancing legs of yours.    You
should be an advertisement for getting the support structure in shape before
having something done to a joint....   :-)  Do well,,, be well and show us
how it is done.

Duckie,

Welcome Home!  And thank you for the very welcome, very good news.  I'm not
at all suprised that a lady with your determination is improving so fast!  
Thank goodness you've had some decent PT this time.

Hi Duckie,

I haven't been around either...(Major computer problems). Where were
you? It sounds like you are doing better, but I think I missed something
here.

Anyway, BIG HUGS! And we still have to get your website done!

Hugs,
Carole :)

 Such good news, Duckie!  I was amazed when you wrote you achieved a bend
of 135 degrees after only three weeks.  I was struggling with 100 degrees
six weeks after my last TKR.  lol

 Keep up the good work!
