Hi Jamie,

I am scheduled for a BTKR on April 23rd. I have my thread on the Hip Recovery side; should I start a new one on the knee side?

Thank you.
 
I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

Yes! Now that you're going to be a "kneesie," you need a recovery thread in that forum too. Of course, you can always start a thread in the knee pre-op forum too if you have any questions or concerns prior to surgery that you'd like to chat about.
 
April 30 is my date! LTKR & I'll be glad when it's over...
 
My surgery is April 21'st on my right knee - it's a total replacement. After nearly 33 years of various surgeries and now being bone on bone, arthritic as well has having bone spurs I'm looking forward to from what I am told and what I've read, a much better quality of life.
I am considered young for this surgery, but I know that if I proceed with my life in a careful yet still fun way my replacement will serve me for MANY years to come!

Welcome @lknforward2nopain - I like your user name :)

To start a new thread, go to the Knee Pre Op list and at the top right you will see a black box with white writing saying post new thread. Give your thread a title and post away. I qualify this by saying that I don't use Tapatalk. I have a short cut on my iPad desktop which takes me straight to the forum.

Just a tip, if you want to "tag" someone in response to their messages to you just type in the @ sign immediately followed by their user name and you'll see a small box in the posting area where the members user name will display. Sometimes there might be a very slight pause, but the member user name will appear.

it will show their correct name which you can click on -- then when you submit your post the member's user name/link will turn blue and send a message to them person, like this: @Poppet

Tag me if you have a problem :)
 
Hello April Knee Gang. I'm scheduled for TKR on April 10th and the closer it gets the more scared I get. Reading many posts on this forum, there is such a wide range of personal experiences. From easy peasy to hellish nightmare. I'm generally an optimistic person, but with my upcoming knee replacment, I'm thinking worse case scenerio for me. (Of course, it doesn't help that a good friend of mine just had a partial knee replacement, and she ended up having a mild heart attack, and embolism in her lung, asparated some vomit and started develop pnemonia. Then had a allergic reaction to a megdose antibiodic.) I guess I just have to try to think positively about this surgery. I'm going to hope by summer , it will all be worth it!
