One small change before everything changes
We're absolutely going to make sure you're prepared for your knee replacement recovery.
But before we talk about exercises, swelling, or recovery timelines, I want to help you prepare the one thing that will shape every single day of your recovery… your thinking.
Because recovery isn't just physical.
It's how you learn to think through everything recovery brings.
That's what the Yetter Getter™ Recovery Method is all about.
The thoughts we have
Depending on the source, you trust, we generate Thousands of thoughts every day. And when you are preparing for surgery or going through recovery, those thoughts are not always we're not always aware of them so usually what we feel first is the emotion.
And the number one emotion that I see come up through recovery is frustration. But there's also being scared or apprehensive of the unknown the feelings that maybe you're not gonna recover like everyone else or maybe that everyone else is doing better. Sometimes we feel like a loss of independence that comes through as sadness seeing other people do things that we are limited in doing right now
Whatever the emotion is, there's always a thought behind it and a lot of those thoughts are really stories that our brain tells us. Most of them are not facts at all
They're thoughts.
That distinction is huge.
Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Our brains are meant to protect us.
We have a survival brain. It's scanning for danger.
That's why it notices:
- ❌ swelling
- ❌ pain
- ❌ setbacks
- ❌ stiffness
before it notices:
- ✅ you slept an extra hour
- ✅ you bent one more degree
- ✅ you walked farther
- ✅ you needed less help
Your brain isn't broken, in fact it's far from it.
It's protecting you. Recovery requires learning to notice different evidence.
Design Your Own Recovery
This is where you get to design your own recovery. Start asking yourself these questions…
Why are you getting this knee replacement?
Not…To stop hurting. Go deeper.
- How do you feel?
- What does life look like on the other side of healing?
- What are you doing every day? Who are you with?
- What are you wearing?
- Where are you walking?
This is your future. Everything in the world is created twice, once in your mind and once in reality.
Find Your "Yet". You are a Yetter Getter.
Now introduce the word YET.
Complete these.
I can't ______ yet.
I'm not able to ______ yet.
I haven't returned to ______ yet.
Then…
Read them again.
Notice something?
Every sentence assumes you're headed there. It creates curiosity and causes your brain to consider an alternate scenario.
That's the power of yet.
