For my knee replacement… 55 days of Physical Therapy, two weeks on a walker, additional two weeks using a cane, no driving while I required the walker, no dental work for a year. Now my knew knee works better than my OEM knee.
For those of you that are planning for hip, shoulder or any surgery that will require physical therapy start the therapy prior to surgery. Why? Because it will cut down the time needed to recover. Ask your doctor if you don’t believe me, it sure has helped me recover a lot quicker with better results.
Poor Grandma. So many problems of her own, and then there’s Agnes. As a person of superior age myself, I can’t imagine having having all her problems, plus poverty, plus Agnes.
Granma is going to need more than a few days for recovery for surgery, it is more like a month or more. I have a friend who had knee surgery and it was 8 weeks recovery which included 5 weeks of physical therapy.

I don’t know what’s scarier. The freaky stuffed animals in her room, or that nasty kettle on their counter. And, yes, I think they BOTH need therapy.

Hopefully the therapy works for Grandma’s hip.

Grannie knows Agnes very well. Test drive indeed!

That is a dilemma. I feel for the grandma.

Just leave Agnes with Trout’s mom. She might learn some valuable skills

I wonder how many vehicles are normally destroyed during their test drives.

my parents let me take responsibility for a test drive and it immediately resulted in a multi-car pileup…

I thought I might need a hip replacement, but physical therapy fixed it right up.
