TKR January 25, 2018
This is my week, left TKR 1/25 at 10:00AM. I’m nervous but yet anxious to be able to walk again without all the pain these last several months. The burning in the knee has become worse the last couple of weeks. I know if I don’t have the surgery it will probably go into my hip, then I may be looking at hip surgery.
I thought about asking my Dr to take x-rays of my right knee when I go for my 3 week follow up so that I’ll have an idea how long before I’ll need a right TKR. The right knee is starting to make cracking sounds every time I move now, which tells me it may not be far behind. I don’t want to wait as long as the left knee. Hopefully I’ll be one step ahead by having the right knee checked ASAP.
I had hoped to hear about good results and positive post op feedback that would definitely put me a little more at ease before Thursday. All the best to those post op and good luck to all upcoming TKR. I hoping I will feel well enough to update by Friday 1/26. If not when I come home which I’m hoping for Saturday 1/27 or at least by Sunday 1/28/18. Then I can start my recovery and hopefully by spring be up and around.
I love gardening and hope I will be able to enjoy my flowers this year. Plus plans to travel in April to the ocean front for a week. I also am looking forward to my daughter having our granddaughter in July. A lot of very near future plans.
