I'm getting my left knee done in 2 weeks..I had to retire from my job Sept 2nd becuz my job requires me to kneel down for CPR classes and at the gun range. But before I decided it was time, I did everything else to prolong it first. You will know when it's time. I did lubrication shots, stem cell procdure it didnt work and cost alot of money, sometimes i think they see us coming, steroid shots, lazer treatments, massage,bemer treatments, soft wave treatments and all that got me thru..but now it's time. I'm not looking forward to it. The surgery is easy, but healing is a process. You and your doctor will know when it's time.

I had total knee and hip replacement on my right side. Knee 10 yrs ago and hip 3 yrs after the knee. I am scheduled to get the left knee done December 21 of this year. Not looking forward to it but have never had any problems with the one I had done and the pain I am experiencing now…..it needs to be done or I will spend the rest of my life sitting in a recliner and damaging my shoulders from using my arms to get myself up. Go for it, you will be amazed!

I also completely understand your anxiety and apprehension. It’s a major surgery and is going to require your complete commitment to all you will “have” to do during recovery. My journey goes back a few years and I did ALL the non surgical treatments which were just a “band aid”. So then I get to the point where you are now….decision time. I prayed on it so much. Then I decided…..I’m too young and my quality of life is declining. Everything I do and everywhere I go, my next thought was…how much walking, how much standing, how many stairs??? To renting a mobility scooter on our last cruise vacation. I don’t want to live like this anymore. So I said to myself, I can either keep declining in my quality of life OR I can “reverse” this and do the tough recovery and regain my normal life again and be rid of this horrible pain. I am now almost 1 month post op and I am so happy that everything is going as normal as expected. I will not lie, there is pain but there was also much pain before too. At least I know that with my hard work with therapy and time, I am going to heal. I wish you all the best and hope you do what ultimately is right for you. Good luck.

I’m at 1 week post surgery. It’s rough. Just feeling emotional from the pain. I’m still so glad I did it. Nights are harder for me. I came looking for encouragement and you were there with it. Bless you for that. Thank you.

Thank you for making these. Very helpful. I had surgery on my bad left knee for meniscus tears and bone spurs a few years ago and now have had the full knee replacement 18 days ago. I am back driving so am thankful for that. Not sleeping as well as I would like but doing well. Still lots of bruising. I made the mistake of not taking Percocet that was sent home from the hospital with me. I really didn’t have much pain the first two days and I easily get constipated. So I had a fair amount of pain and spent about a week juggling pain meds and stool softeners. I only used the walker a couple of days and now use a cane, mainly to slow myself down and alert others to not run into me. So glad I am this far along. I am 73 and this is my first surgery. I was pretty active before and not overweight so I think that helps. Thank you for all you do. From Arkansas, Carole

I can so relate to your comment on being able to wear shoes with heels. I'm 6 weeks out of my total knee replacement, I can't wait to be able to wear cute boots with heels again. My knees are the opposite to your knocked knees. My knees were so bowed, and I felt so unstable with walking on heels. I'm having my left knee done on May 24, 13 weeks after having right knee fixed. Not looking forward to another surgery, but it needs to be done and I want to get it over with. I feel I was very fortunate that my recovery has been easy. I never had much pain. I did struggle with sleeping though, and now at 6 weeks It's getting better. I found your videos just right before I had my surgery, and I felt encouraged after watching them. You were so upbeat.

Hi Mrs. Jones, my name is Tammie. I am from Blackshear,Ga. I watched your first video on Saturday and today, I watched your 1 year video. I enjoyed them so much. I have been dealing with knee pain over 5 years. Finally I have made up my mind that it's time to take care of Tammie. The first time I thought of doing knee surgery April 2021 , my husband had a stroke so I put it off. Then in 2022 I put in to do it again then my son had burnt both of his feet from a steam mop. So I am scheduled once again August 27th of this year to do it. I pray that the Lord will allow me to go through it and be as successful as you have been. I know you said that you can't compare someone else's healing like your own. But you sure have given me hope and I know if I continue to trust in God that he will see me through. I am only concern with having this spine stimulator in my back and if they will give me a nerve block as well. Did you have to have a nerve block ? I Thank you Mrs. Jones you have encouraged me to know I too can do this with God's help and yours. Thank you.

It’s really important to have good pain control for the first 2 weeks. And use your ice machine a lot. If I could give one word of advice: work hard on strengthening and stretching BEFORE surgery. It makes your rehab easier. Pick the best doctor in your area and follow the recovery plan. Best wishes.

I have both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. My joints have been through the mill! However, coming across your two videos was the best thing that happened to me today! Your positivity, your humor and your faith, has helped push me a bit more toward the, "I CAN do this" part of my thoughts. All of your points are so true!

Dear Mrs. Joan. I am so happy that you are at the 1 year mark for your knee! You are a total blessing to many, many people. I had my left knee done on January 10, 2023. I am almost at the 3 month mark. I can’t tell you how much you have helped me and made my surgery and recovery so much easier. You relieved so much anxiety because you didn’t sugar coat it. You were honest about what was to come. I was absolutely amazed at your recovery and you gave me the strength to go through with mine. I was much like you where I hadn’t been able to walk at all for almost 4 years. It left me with NO quality of life. I was living just to get up and sit all day. I am hoping that by having my left knee done (and it was due to an injury), that my right knee will not have to carry the weight all alone. I am very hopeful that I won’t have to have the right knee done. However, I will say if I have to have it done, I will keep you on my mind and re-watch your video over and over to remind me to stay positive! I love how you are. You are true and real. Please don’t ever change as you are perfect just as you are! I thank God that he sent you my way because you were and still are a total blessing to me! I love you Mrs. Joan! Thank you….

I am speechless and humbled by your kind words. I'll keep praying for you. Let me know how you're doing along the way. Don't rush it, as I truly feel it takes a full year to feel normal again. We all have other health issues that we have to factor in that have nothing to do with the knee and it makes us all heal at different rates. But we'll get there if we keep the faith and stay positive!

@angelatrebor8681 You & God got this!!! I promise 🤍 My journey: Literally moved from an apartment with 27 stairs to a tiny house with 7 steps outside the day before my surgery. Setup my bed and bathroom and boxes everywhere 😔I’m single/single and no family; but King Jesus🥹This all happened on Sunday 6 August 2023 with movers getting done putting my bedroom together at 9:30 PM. Of course I got no sleep just from nerves alone on top of my environment and headspace of doing this alone. I headed to the hospital at 5AM Monday 7 August 2023 for my surgery. Had my anesthesia worn off I would have went home that afternoon but I stayed overnight and was in my new home the next day by 7PM…Phew let’s say I know the Holy Spirit has been here helping…I’m 7 months post surgery and I have been alone throughout this whole process. I’m sooooo grateful for the surgery I have NOT a single regret. By Gods grace I kept my recovery as my focus and taking it one day at a time. I still have many boxes to unpack and things to organize however I’m able to walk 3 miles or more with a smile because my right knee is pain FREE. I’m still stiff sometimes getting up however I feel it’s because of my left knee pain. I’m scheduled for surgery on that one in mid JULY. I could have had it done sooner however I wanted to get stronger first from the right and ‘pre-habing’ the left in doing so. I share all this only to say you can do this!!! 🙏🏽Please I’d be happy to share more details about the journey if you’d like. @AtHomewithMrsJoan you are definitely a Blessing and I thank God for you following your heart and Gods to share. I will keep praying and watching for you both 🤍🙏🏽🫂

Waiting for surgery on right knee in next couple of months have had more surgeries than hot dinners over the years im 82 now and for the first time feel wary about surgery ,have to see the surgeon end of August my predicament is last time I spoke to a knee surgeon he told me the knee is as bad as it gets and when he opens it up he might not be able to do tkr and will need to do a fusion, this is not an option for me don't know why he cant tell by looking at imaging so have requested to attend another hospital which has been accepted so hope to get a better explanation at the end of the month .These videos have given me hope so thanks for al, you're doing explaining your journey
