Bonesmart friends,
Thank you for your words of encouragement, sage advice and just plain honesty about TKR. I'm 2 weeks out now and checking off the boxes of the things I've prepared. I guess as much as we prepare we won't really know what to expect until it's our time. Here is my list of preparations. Do you see anything I'm missing?
*ice machine- Game Ready
*toilet seat riser
*shower chair
*Lounge Dr
*extra wide automatic recliner
*pathways clear around the house
* PT prehab
*slip on shoes
*elastic waist shorts
*joint replacement class
*freezer food
*mom flying in the day before
*husband off work for 2 weeks
*dental checkup complete
*PCP checkup complete
While I know these aren't all essential for everyone, they are for me. I'm a planner
Anything I need to add?
@BCSAnna,
Can you believe it's only 2 weeks now???
Tomorrow is our last day with students and Monday is my last day of work for this school year. After that it will be pool time, popsicles and sweet summer memories for a week before surgery. I'm trying to soak it all up while I can.
Wishing you all a super summer no matter where and what your journey entails!
