2015 March Musketeers - Are you having knee surgery in March?

[Jamie]

"All for one and one for all!!!"

March brings us 'round to the first of our monthly teams - the March Musketeers. Three of our members called themselves the March Musketeers back in 2010 and the whole program of monthly teams just took off from there.

If you're having surgery in the month of March, please post your date in this thread and check out the list of other BoneSmarties who will be joining you in recovery.

It always helps to have a group of friends going through surgery and recovery together. You can support each other in true Musketeer fashion and even brandish a few swords as you reach milestones in recovery!

So....OUT with the BAD.....and IN with the GOOD! Let's get the Musketeers rallying together and ensure success for one....SUCCESS FOR ALL!!!

I'm scheduled for March 18 - LTKR (six weeks after my RTKR on January 30). Looks like I'll be getting my spring back in Spring!

Hi everyone...yup...I'm back again! I had my left TKR done on Oct 21...three months later my surgeon was incredibly happy with the result...he said it doesn't get better than my recovery (see my post-op thread and/or my facebook group devoted to my surgery). From my perspective, my god, the left side of my body has a new life...while the recovery journey is a bit tough at times, am I ever glad I did it and I can't wait for my second.

I'm still waiting for my exact surgery date, however, I know it will be in March 2015...

@PeterinMontreal, as soon as you have your date, let us know and we'll put you on the March list.

 

[PeterinMontreal]

@bottomshollow - thanks...I'm 100% sure it will be in March as my surgeon has told me it will be...I am just waiting for confirmation of the date which I will let you know once I have it...

 

[Tammyk]

TKR on my right knee scheduled for March 30th, nervous and excited at the same time.

@Tammyk, you have been officially added to the March surgery list!

 

[PeterinMontreal]

@bottomshollow , you must be psychic. I have to withdraw from the March group as there was a disconnect between my surgeon and the hospital and, finally, he is booked solid in March so it's looking more like April now...I will have a firm date next week. I am incredibly disappointed. You know how you get your hopes up, you get mentally ready, and then...lunch bag letdown! Anyway, I shouldn't complain...I feel more than fortunate. Have a nice day everyone.

 

[RoxieRoller]

Just got my date , left knee TKR on March 12

[Blendab1]

@RoxieRoller you are having yours the same week as me! We can be recovery buddies, you are even getting the same side done!

 

[ways & means]

Right now I have a surgery date of March 23, but I'm waiting to see one more surgeon before i make up my mind which doctor it'll be (I've already seen three). This last one said i must have a TKR (right lateral) while the other two said partial would be fine. Ah decisions. will be everyone posted.

 

[bottomshollow]
