I'm having a RTKR on October 21st. Hoping to be able to keep up with my grand kids when I am done with my rehab. I miss not being able to go to the zoo or the beach and really enjoy myself with them!

Glad to see I have a surgery buddy for October 9th...I'm scared beyond belief. I keep looking at my knees and think they will never look the same after the surgery.

Hi @E'sknees ,
I know how you feel but this is my second "walk in the park" had a very complex Thr in April last year and my hip is fantastic. The anticipation is the hardest part. Once you get to op day it all falls into place. First week is a bit tough but good pain killers make it easier. After that you start to see results and all the physio etc keeps you busy and focussed. I know knees are different and more difficult but the result will be worth it! I take it on as a bit of a project with. TO DO list, lots of research, My own goal recovery timeline., organising friend's visits and coffee runs.i know...typical Type A personality. We'll be just fine

 

[E'sknees]

Thanks for your encouragement. I am a massage therapist and I know a lot about anatomy. I'm in very good shape and I plan on returning to work as early as six weeks. I massage people and horses and I can't afford to lose any clients because of my disability. So it's the recovery time the frightens me. I work for myself so if I don't work I don't make money. And it's not helpful when I see people talk about recoveries that take many months. But I truly appreciate everyone's kind words and I know we just have to get through this.

 

[pinot]

I am scheduled for TKR October 29. I delayed surgery to attend a wedding on the East Coast but because of limited mobility I don't know if I will be able to go.

 

[Maeve]

Maybe you could get on the list a little earlier? Wish I could be scheduled tomorrow! Lol!

 

[bottomshollow]

@Maeve and @E'sknees, ladies please post things like the above in your personal threads. This thread is primarily for listing surgery dates so members can see who is having surgery in October. It is fine to wish members well close to their surgery dates, but other postings with one another should be done in your own threads. Thanks for your cooperation.
