@Holly, the surgery list is carried over each time to the current page. If you scroll up this page you will find the list and your name IS on it. Your name does not appear on the list on page one, but will continue to appear on all lists carried over to the next page from now on.
 
Hi - my LTKR is scheduled for December 1st and I've started my preparations for it already. Pre-registration for the hospital today, lab work on Wednesday, surgery class on Saturday, etc. It will be a busy month!! Luckily, I have a wonderful boss who says "do whatever you need to do, I'll get by" so I'm very lucky that way. Just wish I could sleep at night or, when I do wake up, wish I could stop thinking of the possible pain that might be happening. Anybody else have surgery on the brain all the time? Tisipoohbear - I'll be watching your posts as we're the same day. Mine's scheduled for 10:00 -- yours?

Hiya, I'm going for my second TKR, this time I will have my left one done, on December 6th. I had my right one done in January this year,the best thing I ever did, so I'm hoping the same will be true for this one and I will soon be cycling again.

Hi I too have started all my pre ops I'm all ready to go now due on the 2nd Dec for rtkr I'm very very nervous keep having really bad nightmares and cant stop thinking about surgery and if I'll cope with it unfortunally here in the uk we are not given a time for surgery we just have to turn up at 7am and wait our turn think that gone be very hard waiting around do hope I don't chicken out
 
Hi @chicklady, please don't be frightened, yes it is painful, but it can't be too bad, I'm going back for my second in less than a year after my first. The outcome of mine has been so wonderful I really want to be able to walk properly again, and, yes, cycle again with no pain in either knee. If you want to click on the link to my thread it is in my signature box below, it is my recovery from week one. I don't put much on it these days, but I will start to use it again after December 6th. Do feel free to ask any of us here about anything you are worried about and we will do our best to put your mind at rest. Best wishes, xx

I am so nervous, I have preop blood work next week, my joint class Nov 24th and pt on that Friday to teach me how to walk with a crutch ...my surgery is scheduled @ 10:30 and the left knee 6 weeks after that. We need to keep each other positive.
