2015 August Hot Shots - Are you having knee surgery in August?

[bottomshollow]

@Dani45, if you give me the date of your surgery, I can put you on the surgery list.

Hi everyone. I am new to this so hope I am doing it right. I am scheduled for a left knee replacement on August 17. I am having my pre-admission testing and physical on Wednesday, July 22 and hope to get a lot of information at that visit. This will be my first surgery so am a little nervous. I think this Forum will help.

Hi I am being admitted on 21st August for Surgery on 22nd. Mixed emotions at present, had pre op assessment last Friday so seems very real now. Thanks

I think you will be amazed at how wonderful a shiny brand new man made hip is. I never think about mine any more---and being pain free has changed my life.

My second TKR this year is August 5th to replace the left knee. My right knee was replaced January 5th, 2015. I have been cycling, going to the gym, some swimming, and otherwise carrying forward what I learned from the first replacement to get ready for recovery from upcoming surgery.

Bottomshollow -
I accidentally gave you the incorrect date. I was so focused on my departure date (flying from HI to CA on Aug 3).
My TKR is August 5th not the 3rd. Sorry for the error - thank you for correcting it.

 

[bottomshollow]

@Linda808, date has been corrected. You're very welcome.

Hello My name is Ginger and I am having a total knee replacement on August 3. 2015. I had a partial knee replacement in NOvember of 2014 and it has failed parts are loose and causing me terrible pain to put weight on it. So I am going to have to go through a revision. I am scared to death. I know what I went through with the partial and now to have to take out those parts and do a total. Hopefully it will fix my problem, so looking forward to getting back to being able to walk without limping.

Hello!

I am having a total knee replacement on my right knee Aug. 3 and a total knee on my left Aug. 31. Like everyone else on here, I am happy/excited/scared/freaked out, etc.!

I had my pre-op appt. on Friday and met some awesome people who work at the hospital. (Hi Sara, who works with Dr. F!). Sara reminded me about this forum, so I thought I would check in and work on calming my nerves. I have already received some good advice on here, so maybe I can repay that favor.

 

[bottomshollow]

@Gojennygo, you have been officially added to the August surgery list twice!!!
