The Ultimate Decision: Knee Replacement

As I watched my future husband walk down the embankment, with my Mom, toward the water, I made up my mind. It was time.  Come, hell or high water, I would get this knee of mine fixed!

It started at  a work event (I second guessed going), but decided, what the heck at the last minute. We had a great time and the one thing that has stuck with us all these years started that night: dancing.

As I recall, we went through a 3-step process to pick our date. I really didn’t plan it that way, but that is how it worked out…in hindsight. The three steps were: day, month and year. Seems simple, right?

Every Sunday, first thing, we would get dressed in our best (I was always in some sort of frilly dress and tights with little Mary Jane black or white shoes) and rush to church. After church, we would go home and my parents would put out this amazing spread of food.

I was 41 when I was told I needed a knee replacement.
And that my other knee would likely follow.

That sentence alone changed how I moved through the world.

I stopped playing softball.
I stopped walking just to "walk".
I avoided stairs. Curbs. Parking far away for extra steps.
Even the small, normal things started to feel like obstacles.

One day, I was on the beach, walking through the sand and muttering under my breath with every painful step. I wanted to walk down to the water, but it felt too far. That was the day I drew a very real line in the sand and decided I couldn’t keep living this way.

I had my left knee replaced at 45, my right hip at 46 and my right knee at 48.

What I didn’t know then was that pain would shape my purpose.

Each surgery taught me more than how to heal a body. It taught me resilience, patience and how much faith we carry when we’re forced to slow down and keep going. It also showed me this: there are real gaps in the knee replacement "adventure".

Doctors and physical therapists do important work, but they don’t talk about everything — the fear, the frustration, the days when healing feels invisible. Not because they don’t care. Because they haven’t lived it. I have.

That’s why I created the Yetter Getter Mindset and why I show up as your Holistic Knee Replacement Coach — to fill in the spaces that get skipped so recovery feels doable, supported and human.
