ITAP before and after my total knee replacement earlier this week. So far, so good on the recovery… lots of pain, which is to be expected after a major surgery, but pain that is headed for a positive outcome. Those of you that have met me IRL (especially over the last year or so) certainly noticed how much pain that right knee was causing me. Once the recovery and rehab is complete, hopefully I can get back to on the trail and hiking to destinations with amazing views to share!

Mahalo, Manu… I am definitely excited about the idea that my knee will be “pain free” (relatively speaking) a few months from now! 🤙🏼

Yeah, totally understandable! I assume there is a lot of physio therapy involved? Did you fall on your knee or what happened initially? My husband took a bad fall (skateboard) and has had issues (he can’t bend it fully or do yoga poses).

No, I was an athlete in what seems like another lifetime at this point. Tore both ACLs before I turned 20, and went through the replacement process and continued to play competitive sports until I was almost 40 (and I actually still ski, with a trip to Steamboat earlier this year). The arthritis in both knees traces back to those early injuries and the damage to the meniscus tissue, and thirty years of grinding through it. Probably long overdue to get the right knee replaced, honestly, and the left one probably isn’t far behind. 🤙🏼
