Like baked potato and yogurt and eggs

@Celle thank you Celle and sorry about the new thread.
I asked my home visiting nurse initially about the steri strips.
I also asked the surgeons assistant
They said to remove it
I am trying to gently remove in the shower but it is still on and I don’t want to pull it and disturb the...
My steri tape is still on the incision
The nurse said it needs to fall off by itself
Has anyone else had tape on that long ?

The prescreening nurse told me I had a benign AV Block after I had my EKG at pre-screening last week. She said they would the compare the EKG to my last EKG that I had with my primary care 2 months ago at my annual physical. I have not heard anything more.
But just another thought: I am...
Had my pre-screening appointment and the nurse went over all my supplements. Fish Oil Vitamin D , etc. She said not a drop of alcohol 2 weeks prior to surgery. I asked if I could have 1 or 2 drinks the week before surgery at my Dad 94th birthday party. She said NO. Anyone experience this ...

@JDinCT. So happy to hear about your progress. Sounds like you are doing amazing.
You said the epidural made you anxious
I am a very anxious person to begin with

I am...
@boneweary
I don think I can thank you enough.
I keep rereading your post. You have made me feel so much better.
I started obsessing about the spinal from the minute it came out of the surgeons mouth.
Your words are SUCH a huge inspiration to me.
I just want to hug you for taking the...
@JDinCT
Thanks JD. I did have my MRI. It showed moderate to serve OA
I thought I would be in more pain than this with almost bone on bone.
I am going to get a TKR after seeing 4 doctors.
It seems to make the most sense.
Although I am quite nervous about being awake for the...
So I met with the surgeon yesterday and the Dr wants to do a spinal with femoral block.I am scared that I will be awake although he says no, I will not be awake. I have read from others where they did wake up.
I have horrible anxiety disorder. I just don’t want to be awake. He reassured me...
