About Me
Hi, I’m Haidee Rivera, and I have worked in healthcare for 40+ years with hands-on experience in hospitals, clinics, and patient care of which 30 of those years has been as a bedside RN. For over 40 years, I’ve witnessed the evolution of healthcare – from outdated practices to groundbreaking innovations – while working tirelessly at the bedside. Today, I still work in a hospital, caring for patients just like you.
But I’m not just a nurse. I’m also someone who’s been through knee surgery myself. I know firsthand the frustration of conflicting advice, the fear of setbacks, and the relief of finding solutions that actually work. This unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience drives everything I share here. Join me on this journey of healing.
I created RecovrKnee because I’ve been in your shoes—not only as a nurse caring for patients after knee surgery, but also as a patient myself. I know what it feels like to be vulnerable, in pain, and unsure of what really helps. That dual perspective fuels my mission to share honest, practical advice based on both clinical experience and lived recovery.
My goal is to help you:
Prepare for your surgery with confidence
Recover more comfortably and effectively
Discover tools and products that truly make a difference
Avoid common mistakes I’ve seen far too often
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. But with the right information, support, and mindset, you can move through recovery with greater ease—and a lot more knowledge on your side.
