Let me say this loud and clear:If you're healing or recovering from a knee replacement, you are not missing out. You are literally repairing your body for the future. You are exactly where you should be today. You are not behind, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
I know it’s hard, especially during the holidays when everyone seems to be out at BBQs, fireworks shows, and get-togethers. But I want to remind you—this is the season to be the most mindful.
Holidays mean more movement, more people, and more pressure to “rally.” And while that might sound fun in theory, it’s also the fastest way to set yourself back physically and emotionally if you’re not careful.
I say this from experience.
That was the hardest lesson for me to learn in my own healing—especially after knee replacement—and the one that probably cost me the most pain-wise in the days following.

If you’re healing right now, here’s my loving advice:
Lean on the people who love you. They want to help.
Put that leg up.
Ice, ice baby.
And hydrate. Like, for real. Water is your best friend right now.

It’s okay to sit things out. You’re not missing anything—you’re giving your body exactly what it needs. And that’s powerful.
You are doing it. You are healing.
You are doing it. You are healing.
