I'm glad to hear that you are gradually improving.
After two years, I still have swelling if I "aggravate" my new knee, nothing that an icebag won't help.
I cannot kneel on the knee where I had my TNR, while others have no problem doing that.
At my two-year checkup, I asked my Surgeon why I wasn't A-OK (but I'm much better than before the TNR).
He said "Some people react better than others to having strange things implanted in their body".
I hope I never need a pacemaker.

I see you have a horse farm up for sale, sounds great.
I had a horse, Jets Encore, for 23 years and I miss him terribly.
