    I just got the dreaded call from the OS office confirming my surgery time for Monday @ 12:30....His PA also told me that after the meeting yesterday with the rep from Depuy and reviewing my xrays and history that he wants to keep the option open to do a TKR instead of a revision when he actually...

    Aprilgirl's Journey-a partial revision to 2 total knees

    Lori, do you have a laptop or an iPad? If you do you can journal right here on your post op thread while in the hospital. Just get your husband to remind you to take a few notes and then you can fill in details later. I know I was way too out of it to make sense at first but when reminded I...

    Back again, LPKR revision....dejavu all over again!

    When I went to the doctor for my left knee after I hurt it I thought for sure he would recommend that I have a TKR, I was surprised when he said he wanted to do a revision. I asked him why and he showed me my X-rays pointing out that the only part of my knee that was worn was the interior side...

    Back again, LPKR revision....dejavu all over again!

    I have much less lead in time for this surgery than in the past, I just found out last friday and my surgery is less that 4 weeks from now, so less time to build up scenarios in my head.....and this time I am less afraid of having the surgery than I am of not having it, I guess that is because...

    2014 February Valentines - Are you having knee surgery in February?

    Back again, LPKR revision....dejavu all over again!

    He said the other side of my knee is not worn and as long as it was working and there was no pain before this incident that he feels is causing the pain he doesn't want to do a total. I had a RTKR and don't want to go through the recovery again either if possible. He said the recovery from the...

    HI, I hate to keep meeting this way, truly! I am scheduled on February 10th for a revision on a 2009 PKR that my ortho is pretty sure has come detached or unglued...he is pretty positive that he is only going to have to replace the lower half of the prosthetic but promising nothing until he...

    TKR Sissy Seeking Success On The Other Side

    I was concerned about pain on the underside of my knee and asked about it when I went for the 6 week checkup. The Os's PA went into a very long and descriptive reason about what happens during the surgery but in the end it is because my ham string is healing from being assaulted during the...

    The sinus infection is much better and the terrible nausea it was causing has cleared. I still have no appetite but that is ok, I am eating enough.
