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

Welcome to our latest and all May Marvels!

Feel free post your surgery date in this thread, and I will add you to the list. However, please start a thread of your own in the Pre-Op Knee Section to post comments and share your journey toward knee replacement.

Pain is tolerable. Just walked a fourth of the way down the hall.

Well done you ! de Irish Luck worked. Do what you can until it starts hurting. Then up on the bed and ice packs. They are nearly as good as any pain killer, but don't replace them, so ASK! Cheers:D

Other side now, and all ok. Lots of pain yesterday afternoon - but under control pretty quickly, I even got some sleep

Thanks for adding me to the May Surgery list! It's coming up very fast, way too fast!!
My biggest concern other than finding a nice bathrobe is where to sit when I come home! Is a recliner better than the sofa? I am driving my husband crazy with measuring the seat heights of our furniture!

Best of Irish luck to you!:D

Welcome to the other side @Spider. Remember to rest, ice, medicate and elevate!
Good luck today @Drewsie!
Welcome to this forum @Helenefm. some people are fine with the recliner. I find I get better elevation on the couch. We have a sectional so that helps. Good luck in finding a robe!

 

[MzRicketts]

Thank you drewsie! I haven't slept, I'm so nervous. Have to be in the hospital at 10 am. Nervous, yet excited.
