@KneeReplacement LTKR 5 days, revision of TLKR 6 days

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@KneeReplacement 14 months after revision and I am still nowhere near good... might never be good either... that’s my life and my life alone.

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@KneeReplacement I am now walking normal, 15 weeks and 4 days after the revision, if only he would’ve taken the piece out before (or even better wouldn’t have left it behind) 4 days after the removal I walk normal, YAY!!!

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@neiltheknee @KneeReplacement @mattbarbermd @TheKneePainGuru. There is that little piece the surgeon left behind at the revision. So glad it’s out!! I think it’s a splinter of a staple since it’s magnetic. 15 weeks on and I walk normal (op was Thursday 2days ago to remove piece)

@neiltheknee @mattbarbermd @mykneeguide @alortho @Dr_Stambough @DrLeeRubin @MobileSportsDoc @KneeReplacement @D1SportsMobile I am about to get the left behind needle tip removed, and while the surgeon is in there I hope he will take out the broken patella piece out as well... I am so over this knee...

Bit too fluffy but the taste is there, banana cake

Sunday morning snuggles

@KneeReplacement @mykneeguide @mattbarbermd @TheKneePainGuru @neiltheknee, well I found out what the thing is on my X-ray, tip of a stitch needle... This knee is a drama which will never end... Oh and I might have a chipped patella also including bone pieces floating around...

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

3 weeks post op, straight 0, bend 100!!!! I’m happy with that, aim is to slowly work myself up to 120-125

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @mattbarbermd @TheKneePainGuru, survived my revision, glad it’s all done, now just to get on with the healing process again... pain is more then last time, but it feels way more stable, I just need to keep on top of meds.

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @TheKneePainGuru @mattbarbermd Haven’t spoken to him yet...

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@neiltheknee @KneeReplacement @TheKneePainGuru @mattbarbermd , I would love to know what the thing over my patella is... not thick enough for staple, but what is it? Ligament stitch?

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@neiltheknee @KneeReplacement @mattbarbermd @TheKneePainGuru seems like Revision was successful, going home today, still swollen, but stable! Pain meds on boards and aftercare organised. Looking forward to ho home

@KneeReplacement @mykneeguide @TheKneePainGuru @mattbarbermd, going for a femur/poly spacer/patella button (this time I get one) revision on Thursday, OS agreed that just a spacer revision won't work. My future new hardware! Getting nervous...

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @mattbarbermd @mykneeguide, doing a full revision, tibia part stays, it's only the femur part which gets replaced, the spacer will have a raised pin in it. This time I will get a button under my patella. All up the op should be done in a 2hrs

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@codoc @mykneeguide @KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @TheKneePainGuru @mattbarbermd Oh trust me I’ll ask him why, and if he says something I don’t agree with, I’ll give him hell for leather...

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@mattbarbermd @mykneeguide @KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @TheKneePainGuru I’m impressed you can see which implant I have, I knew which one I got coz OS told me

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@Arthrosezentrum @mattbarbermd @mykneeguide @KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @TheKneePainGuru I’m impressed that you can see which one I have...! I knew which one I got coz Os told me which one

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@mykneeguide @mattbarbermd @KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @TheKneePainGuru Os said he gave me one...? I’m going back on Monday I’ll have a list with 15 prepared questions, it’ll be interesting to say the least. Going for poly spacer revision on Thursday.

[Ela Zemp @ElaZemp2]

@mattbarbermd @KneeReplacement @neiltheknee @mykneeguide @TheKneePainGuru That’s maybe where all the problem started, I had stage 4 of OA... specially in patella
