To all,
I still have 7 weeks to go before March 4th surgery/ I just want to thank the many responders to my initial post that started this thread -- - a plea for help, I guess.
Reading other posts and articles has enabled me to become calmer , less anxious and looking forward to a better quality of life. Am using the time to become more informed and create my lists of things to take to hospital, rehab, and have at home, and getting help at home. So if u don't hear from me for a while, I haven't gone away, but am just trying to absorb/apply what I've learned, and reading the postings of those who are having surgeries.
I've learned that our hospital doesn't provide "take home" cold therapy device. I have OS prescription for one,. Will be speaking with ortho nurse about different types and if I can take it to the hospital. I'd feel more secure with that available.
By the way, I'm getting a DePuy implant. Anyone have any experience with it-- I understand there's a rotating type and other versions.
