@rene499, you have been officially added to the March surgery list!

I apologize for missing your post---

 

[Mai5ie]

Scheduled for today, 20th March. Operation cancelled at the last minute! I'm totally gutted.

 

[Eva41]

@Mai5ie so sorry to hear your surgery was canceled at the last minute. I know exactly how you feel. My BTKR scheduled for March 11 was canceled by my surgeon the night before. I had prepared myself mentally and physically for the surgery. It was such a letdown. They couldn't reschedule until April 1st. I had two options, I could let myself get down or I could take the extra 3 weeks and get my my muscles strengthened to be better prepared for the surgery.
Hang in there, it will happen. Hopefully sooner than later.

 

[Mai5ie]

Good advice Eva41. Like you, I was mentally and physically prepared...

 

[lori107]

@Mai5ie sorry to hear you were let down at the last minute. How frustrating for you. Try to keep positive, we are all thinking of you. Xx

@lori107 Thanks. Just cheered myself up with a chinese takeaway!

 

[Jamie]

Sorry to hear of your setback. But.....it's not all that much longer to wait. Great attitude and Chinese food will work wonders to get you there!!! Hang in there, hon. Good days are coming!

My knee surgery is March 28 instead of March 19. We never discussed my nickel allergy, now I'm going to surgeon that does ceramic knee w/titanium component, so glad about this! It would have been a disaster! Thank God I read on forum about others w/this allergy!

 

[Mai5ie]

@Jamie thanks. My surgeon only operates one day a week at my local hospital, so although I've to wait another 4 weeks, it's only 4 operating days I suppose. I need that revised appointment in writing now!

 

[ironman60]

Dang, I hate when I don't follow directions.
I have been posting in preop knee as ironman60.
My TRKR is March 24th 2014. Yikes!!!

 

[bottomshollow]

@ironman60, you have been officially added to the March surgery list!

 

[bottomshollow]

@Mai5ie, I have removed you from the March surgery list. So sorry about your cancellation. Please let me know when you get your new surgery date so I can put you on the April list.

 

[lori107]

My bag is packed and I am ready to go tomorrow afternoon for pre op tests for op on Tuesday. Has anyone noticed that a couple of days prior to surgery how the rubbish knee doesn't feel as bad or is this just me. Bought the book recommended by the forum on tkr and rehab which should help me. Not sure what sort of physio I will get when I come home so the book should be good even though it seems a bit terrifying. Nil by mouth after 12am Tuesday, starting to feel a bit queasy already. Xx

 

[ironman60]

My knee is fine also. My back hurts though & my brain feels a little light.
12 1/2 hours to go. Good Luck.

 

[lori107]

At least it's not just me then. Thanks @ironman60 Best of luck to you also. See you on the other side. Best wishes to anyone who is going in the next few days. Xx
