Yes, that's definitely right - I've read loads of people's comments on their experiences of knee replacement, and they do vary such a lot, including some real horror stories, lol. I think mine's about average!

Yes, it takes up to a year for everything to heal properly, but the severity and rate of recovery varies a lot from person to person, from what I've read. It's definitely improving, and it feels quite stable, just really painful still.
I didn't know, gosh, it must be hard not knowing how much help the op is going to have been for a whole year! But just imagine what things you could be doing this time next year, pain free hopefully

Hiya! It's going ok, thanks! I did full days Mon-Tue, then booked leave yesterday for a break, then back for full days today and tomorrow. Getting there, slowly but surely! Just remembered the auditors are coming to see me today, oh joy!! :O
How are you doing?

I saw a naughty nine again in the scales, yesterday, lol. It was only 9 13.8, and it's fine again today (10 0.4), so I'm not in too much trouble with Kathryn! My weight is bouncing round by about three pounds, between 10 and 10 3. That's pretty ok for maintenance, I think?! xx

Thanks so much, Stacey and Lisa! I've still got that weird thing going on in my head where I feel bigger than I rationally know I am - I wonder if it'll ever go away?! xx

Thanks so much, Stacey and Lisa!
I think that's the last thing to disappear , long after the weight has gone.. Then every now and then you catch a glimpse of yourself and you are like, wow where did I go? X

Haha, that's spot on, Lisa. I think if I had a full length mirror at home I'd be able to see it better because, as you say, if I catch my reflection at work or somewhere I get a shock! Our brains are such strange things!!

Thanks, Lexie - I know; fun as it is to see briefly, I do think under 10 stone is too low for me, even though my healthy weight range goes down to a ridiculous 8st 12lbs. :O xx
