    TKR Starting recovery

    I had TKR on my right knee Dec 28th. I am now 10 days out. I went home the same day and had little or no pain the day of surgery. I came home, hubby fixed me a light dinner and I took my meds. The next day the trouble started. I vomited all day. I could not keep my meds down or even my...

    Outpatient Surgery

    So glad to read the above comments. I'm 73, scheduled for TKR on 12/28 and Kaiser believes in the enhanced recovery, sending patients home same day IF they pass the tests.

    Knee replacement 12/28

    Thanks to both of you for replying. I haven't seen anyone on this site that went home the same day, so that concerns me. My doggies are very good. My husband's dad lived with us (lost him in October) and used a walker. The dogs were very respectful of the walker. I have a high Kohler...

    Hi everyone, I'm 73, female, and going in for TKR on December 28th. I belong to Kaiser and they have an enhanced recovery program. That means if I pass all the tests after surgery, I will be sent home same day (in at 6:00am and out by 4:00pm). I'm a bit nervous about coming home the same day...

    2017 December SuperNovas - Are you having knee surgery in December?

    I'm having total knee replacement on my right leg on Dec 28th this year. I joined this group to get support and information. I'm in the enhanced recovery program and Dr. says I will most likely go home the same day. I'm a bit nervous about that. Anxious to hear others stories. I'm gathering...
