@SuperSnapper and @Wilma I'm excited to see there are 2 others having their TKR's done the same day as myself I am quite nervous. I am 41 years old and have severe osteoarthritis in both knees however my right is by far the worst. I'm making lots of lists and trying to get everything organized. I am a mother of 4 but 2 are in college (21 and 19) and out of the house, one is 17 and a senior in high school and my baby is almost 13 and in 7th grade. They will be a ton of help.

Been an avid reader in the background on BoneSmart and now I'm ready to join up and mark my date.
Time to say good-by to band-aid fixes!

My LTKR will be November 25, 2014!

 

[Wilma]

@eldon - Hi there. Welcome, you it make 4 of us on 25th November. 3 weeks tomorrow!!!!

@Shellbell - Hi, I can't find a pre-op thread for you. I have been in trouble for 'chatting' on this thread and don't want to risk it again!

 

[SuperSnapper]

@eldon, @Shellbell, @Wilma Wow! There are now 4 of us on November 25th! That's great we can all cheer each other up and support each other.

@Jezebel and @gr82cu2 "Enjoy" your last day with your old knee, as much as you can. Good luck and I'll watch for your recovery posts. Positive thoughts heading your way tomorrow!

[swalker]

Yes having surgery Nov 5th for both knees. Do I take my ice machine?

 

[SuperSnapper]

@swalker Nice to meet you. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow.

 

[Threads]

@swalker - good wishes for tomorrow and don't forget to set up a recovery thread where you can ask questions and get them answered! I'm having both knees done as well but a week after you. I'll watch for your thread.

I was told to bring my ice machine when I check in at admitting (all labelled with my name). However, I live in a different country with a different health system. Why don't you have it in the car ready to go, and if they want you to have it, the person who is with you can nip out and get it.

 

[swalker]

Sandra;
Thanks I will do that.
All the best,
Sandi^
