This is a post for those of you who recently had or will be having a TTT!! I want to tell you TTT's can be very succesfull and that it is possible to be active after the tripple T.I was in constant pain, subluxing 24/7 and dislocating very much previous to my TTT, and felt I couldn't do my job anymore as I wanted, couldn't be active anymore, couldn't even walk without serious pain. After a failed LR my OS did a TTT, I had a very fast rehab although I still struggeld for a year with pain. However now my knee is better than ever, I am active and I can do everything (except kickboxing it makes my kneecaps go where I don't like it!).Of course my knee isn't cured, my tracking still isn't what it is supposed to be and the cartilage damage of course is irreversible, but I can live!!!! And I feel my age again!!Soo...yesterday I was 4 years post TTT, have thought about it a few times.That day, aug 21 2002, changed my life, me!So all TTTers, stay positive and keep the faith!!I am a nurse working on ER, ambulance services and on MICA (Mobile Intensive Car Ambulance). I am doing a special ALS (resus, Advenced Life Support) course in sept (which involves a lot of kneeling!!) and am starting my special ER nursing degree in spetember too!So I am a busy girl with bad knees who feel good now!There is indeed life after a TTT and a TTT can be a SUCCES!!! in it's own way!Stay positive!Helena x
