@den70chev, you have been officially added to the April surgery list!

 

[Mai5ie]

My original date was cancelled at the last minute. April 17th was confirmed by phone today. I'm scheduled for a RPKR unless surgeon feels a total is necessary once I'm in theatre.

 

[den70chev]

@Mai5ie I cetainly hope you only need a partial. Either way good luck and speedy recovery.

 

[bottomshollow]

@Mai5ie, you have been officially returned to the April surgery list!

I am having right knee replaced 1 April and can't wait to get to the other side. Put me on the list..

thanks

 

[den70chev]

@red corvette I know the feeling. I want it to be over so the rehab can start so I can enjoy some summer cruising.

Hi,
I'm set for my first TKR on April 16th. I'm really ready to get this done.

@scubanana You're the day before me! Keep in touch.

Total Knee Replacement on left knee April 8th, please put me on the list. Anxious, scared, alot of emotions, but looking forward to getting it done. Doctor said he'd do the right knee 6 month later.

Have you given thought to having both knees done at the same time??? One operation, one rehab, and then your done. I'm going for both. Either way good luck.

 

[Firemedic124]

Been fighting Workers Comp since September of last year. Finally got surgery approved. Right TKR on April 17.

 

[Mai5ie]

@Firemedic124 You're the same day as me. We'll be able to compare notes!

 

[tawinoh]

@den70chev My doctor doesn't want to do them both at the same time.

 

[den70chev]

@Firemedic124 You're the same day as me. We'll be able to compare notes!

Sounds good to me. Are you doing both knees at the same time?

 

[Mai5ie]

Had a phone call from hospital today. There's been a cancellation! They want me in on Thursday!!!! Please change my surgery date to 3rd April.
@Firemedic124 I'm down for a RPKR, unless surgeon feels the need to do a total once I'm in theatre.
