Glad ur back & feeling ok
I bet the pain u feel now is nothing compaired to before. Thats how my aunt felt.

When I was reading ur replies on here, one of them reminded me of something else that happened to my aunts new knee.

Both knees were healed 100% (this was before the bone infection) & she was walking & bending her knees for the first time in years! Everyone thought all was well But it really wasn't & no one knew what was gonna happen next.

I don't remember what she was doing, but I think she was in the barn with the sheep & lambs (shes a very stubborn woman). & one of her OLD, as in 10 year old Scars from an old knee surgery ripped open. The Dr.s said they think it happened cause of the work they did on removing the old knee & putting the new one in weakened the scar from the bottom & cause the new stiches had healed so well & it must have pulled more skin from the old scar & caused it to rip open.

So if u have had other surgeries on that knee, keep an eye on that one too. Cause u could never know & I don't want anyone else in the same situation as her.

I missed the email thread, sorry about that. But I do send Good wishes your way

p.s. I have no idea how my aunt is doing now. I haven't spoken to my parents since new years, so I can't get anymore updates. & I'm not allowed to make longdistance phone calls & she lives about 2000km away in NS/Canada
