Hello again! I passed my 6 month anniversary on December 11 with much appreciation for my new knee. I just re-read my Sept 11 update, and I can see some improvements from that. The night-time aching is now gone. I can't remember the last time Bessie woke me up begging for a position change. I do still get little reminders once in awhile - little pains - but they are minor and very short-lived.
I've been to Water Aerobics once a week for the last few weeks. It does feel good to be in the pool, and even better in the hot tub. There I do exercises - both squeezing and stretching, and I also kneel on the bottom of the hot tub. THAT is a good stretch as well. I can really feel that in my quads. I can tell if I've done enough exercises the next day when I am a little achy.
Tillie, the old knee, got sort of whiney at the grocery store recently, and I sat down for a bit to rest her, but she doesn't usually inhibit me from doing what I want to do. I want to put off her redo for as long as I can. Right now I'm thinking June of 2015 at the earliest. We'll see.
So, that's the 6 month update. Bessie is well and happy, and I'm very happy I had her done!
Thanks for reading!
:)Amy
