Wishing you a rapid recovery, Becky!

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you!

[@scotthutson736]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. As a veteran of multiple orthopedic surgeries, I can truly sympathize.

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you!

[@TechnoChic]

Great tips!

[@deanallenjones]

Best of luck with the surgery. I love the crutch clips! I need to make some for myself. The first part of the video made me so grateful to be in the UK, I had over 10 surgeries on my legs and haven't paid a penny

[@JamiesHackShack]

Hope you have a speedy and trouble free recovery!

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks so much!

[@ameyring]

Hope you recover quickly! I've followed your projects since your days at Adafruit.

[@dalewheat]

A speedy recovery to you! Thanks for sharing the tips. I really like how you’re using a real bummer of a personal journey to help pave the way for others that will inevitably follow, all while keeping a great sense of humor and positive outlook. You’re a great inspiration to me and a lot of other people.

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you so much!

[@stevestikihutable]

Becky, long time listener, first time comment, this caught my eye as my wife has been having arthritic problems with her knee for 2 years, her quality of life has plummeted so I can feel your pain and frustration. Blessings for your recovery! BTW, I’ve been doing the “Thumb, I’m Steve” since 1977… a buddy of mine found you on KZbin and told me, this gal does your thumb thing! I told him I learned it from you…

[@hypermonk33y56]

i wish you good health and feeling better soon. and seeing future contents too.

[@douglasharley2440]

speedy recovery hopes, and dr. jokes appreciation thanks!

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you!!

[@DevonsWorkshop]

That 10mm socket joke cracked me up. I laughed very well out loud. Loved it. I think it’s a great mechanic joke but it might go over an anesthesiologist’s head. Your shower looks eerily similar to mine except the floor pattern is different. Can’t imagine going through so many surgeries and keeping a great sense of humor. Hope your recovery goes well and you’ll be up and running soon.

[@MAYERMAKES]

Whish you a fast recovery! I'mcurrently suffering through a rib injury so I feel with you physically!

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you Clemens! Hope you feel better soon!

[@flashlightbug]

Wishing you all the best and a healthy and productive recovery!

[@beneverard7430]

All the very best with your recovery Becky

[@v3ctors69]

Feel better Becky! I hope recovery is smooth and swift. 💜

[@eDoc2020]

Some advice I can add for anyone else (especially if it's your first time) is to learn to use crutches beforehand. It's always easier to learn new things when you're not dealing with possible pain and other things that could affect you.

[@rrturjo]

Praying your surgery went thorugh smoothly and your recovery is smooth one!

[@BiscuitWaite]

Good luck!

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you so much!

[@nro337]

Wishing you a seamless recovery!

[@kd2eat]

Best of luck with your recovery. I'm 7 weeks past my second TKR. I felt your pain. Keep after the PT and heal well!

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks, you too!

[@jmg999]

These were fantastic tips! Thank you! I'm really sorry that you have chronic knee issues. I'm able to commiserate, as I do, as well. I hope that your surgery goes well, and you're on the road to recovery quickly.

[@alun7006]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@garthhowe297]

Best wishes on your recovery. Thank you for leaving out the gory details. For some reason, I am especially freaked out by any leg surgery.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Glad you made it! 😃👍🏼🩹🦵🏼👊🏼

[@BeckyStern]

🤙

[@DingDaisy-h9k]

Hope you have a rapid recovery!!!

[@JohnSchiavoneJrBSEERN]

Becky, On the 23rd I go in for a total knee replacement surgery on my right knee. The left one was dome about 6 years ago. I agree with everything you said about preparing the house for pust surgery. I would also include that it is VERY important to do the PT after you get home. Get well quickly!

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you and same to you!

[@jeffdrennan6477]

Are you going to make videos about your knee surgery recovery?

[@kellyhorn3368]

Take care and get better soon

[@kortt]

I hope you have a quick recovery Becky! Knee surgery sucks!

[@Francois_L_7933]

Hope you have a speedy recovery. And the Dr really did put some fine looking stitches on that knee 🙂

[@andy_warb]

Get well soon Becky!

[@simonhopkins3867]

Oh that sucks. Here's to speedy recoverys and new tools. Sending healing hugs from the UK.

[@xiggywiggs]

"If you find my 10 mm socket I'm gonna need that back" is a fantastic joke! I legit Lol'd at it. The 10 mm socket and the 1/8in drill bit are impossible to keep around, the only solution is to just meet yourself where you're at and buy them in bulk. Wishing you a quick recovery!!

[@lady_draguliana784]

tyvm for noting you're on nebula off the top, i watch on one or the other, and a lot of creators forget we're unlikely to watch the same vid 2x

[@K_C_Oaks]

I think you're just a few years younger than me; I very much understand these things that creep into your later life. I, too, now get to consider things like how to get around and adjusting to a new way of existing. My super-awesome moon boot and I both wish you convenience and accommodation.

[@sdttnkara]

Get well soon! ❤️‍🩹

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks!

[@AndyCallaway]

Sorry to hear about your knee problems, Becky. *Sending healing vibes* BTW did you see what Allie Katz did with her knee scans?

[@BeckyStern]

Thank you! And yeah! I did! very cool.

[@Prerejection]

Get well soon!

[@RichardT2112]

Speedy recovery!!

[@unwin42]

That area rug edit is so funny

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks 😆

[@TechnoChic]

I also laughed out loud for reals. Lol

[@bergles1]

I’m icing my knee right now! Im also post surgery - 6 weeks out and I’m about 90% recovered. Scar tissue is still present but I’m working on it… hope for a speedy recovery!

[@BeckyStern]

Same to you!

[@Slide100]

Hey Becky! Wanna be knee recovery buddies? I’m 10 days into recovery from knee replacement surgery. I heartily agree with the cold therapy machine recommendation. Been a lifesaver so far. I love the crutch clips and would print some if I could get to my printer (downstairs), so they’ll have to wait a couple more weeks. Speedy recovery Becky!

[@BeckyStern]

Yeah! Same to you, buddy!

[@thiamata5346]

For the scar, get some really good Castor Oil from Queen of Thrones. I had TKR this past November, did my p/t and used the Castor Oil once my doc said it was good to use and my scar is barely there. It works great!

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks! I'm using silicone scar sheets and biocorneum cream. I'm dealing with an incision that's been cut open three times, but the few new smaller ones have hope!

[@aaronm9478]

Surgery sucks, been there done that (all abdominal stuff). 🤕 Glad your recovery seems to be going well. 🤗🤗

[@chuckvanderbildt]

As someone who had the pleasure of falling down the stairs last winter, i think that if i were to have been able to plan ahead for that eventuality, and the subsequent need to walk with crutches for a while, i would have snuck in some extra arm muscle exercises beforehand. Getting used to using those muscles a little more than usual was rough :)

[@unwin42]

Nebula is great. Big fan of the Jet Lag show.

[@megamancards]

I hope you recover quickly.

[@BeckyStern]

Thanks!

[@BiscuitWaite]

The 10mm joke, that's comedy gold.

[@RK-kn1ud]

I was expecting some DIY knee surgery... ...maybe with some embedded LEDs.

[@wadehamlin]

Get better soon Are you good on your crutches?

[@eDoc2020]

Losing 10mm sockets is such a cliché. When I had my big surgery I was responsible for adjusting a 3/8" nut four times a day and somehow I didn't lose the wrench.

[@davisdiercks]

My friend is getting knee surgery soon from a motorcycle accident (my understanding is it was minor but still needs correction)... Sending her this lol 💙

[@BeckyStern]

The learning curve is real!

[@BrendanGates]

Oof. As a fellow member of the Subluxing Patella Gang, I wish you a speedy recovery and agree that knees are real dumb.

[@BeckyStern]

Now I can't stop thinking about what our gang's signs and activities are 😆

[@BrendanGates]

@@BeckyStern if there is a sign that means "person inexplicably crumpled on floor yet again" that I think that's it 🥲

[@reforzar]

Hopefully this is the last one! ❤

[@BeckyStern]

It won't be, but hoping it lasts another 15 years! And gonna have my other knee done at some point soon too.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

Don't try DIY knee surgery , why was this not a tip? All the best for a speedy recovery Becky

[@jamesonpace726]
