Hi, I am having TKR in left knee on April 24. I got my surgery date on Friday. I’m alternating between happy excited and fear.

I will add myself as my date is 4/11/19!!!

It's been a long journey as I had to loose some weight to get approved. I lost 58 lbs to get the the required BMI of 40.

Both knees are bad (and have been so for a long time) and reaching 60 last year I really noticed how slow I was getting and I was just not wanting to be on my feet anymore.

I have a ritual every year where I enter my Corvette in a really hard judged show. My friends are the best competition as well. I spend about 50 hours cleaning the car to prepare for the show and then another 4-5 hours cleaning once we get there. Well, last year it just about killed me to do it, LOL. Still took second in a large group of cars!

My Doc will only do one at a time so the left one on 4/11 and then the other about 6 weeks later.

So ready for this!

@bottomshallow , you made my day with the corvette picture!

Feeling a bit down with excessive knee pain that started yesterday. Someone doing something nice makes me a bit less self absolved and feeling better!

You made a difference in my day and thank you for that,
 
I am having my knee replacement on April 24th, 64 soon to be 65, left knee flared up just getting off the couch ! Tried everything so looking forward to getting back in my pedal kayak and fishing next summer.

I am having a RTKR April 16 to replace a mako PKR that was installed July of 2014. I am getting nervous as hell trying to find information about revisions. It looks like I found the right place.
