hi @aunt B - totally understand where you are coming from on the to-ing and fro-ing of yes - no to replacements. I'm the same - good days or an easy stair climb have me questioning do I really need it then night like last night with the horrid deep hot/cold pain says YES get ti done (two little guys - one for each knee) - cheers

Me too. RTKR January 30th, as long as all goes well with the pre-op physical this week. LTKR to follow somewhat later (six weeks or so, depending on how it all goes).
I am excited to think of all the things I will be able to do again, but anxious and nervous at the same time. Plus my knees are feeling much better ever since my OS said he'd put me on his schedule! Go figure, right?

 

[britfans]

I'm scheduled for tkr (left) on January 23, logistics willing

I just joined the group.
Having right TKR on Jan 12th. A week from today.
Is it weird that me knee is suddenly feeling better?

 

[vinny]

The knee knows .....happened to me and I cancelled the surgery then the pain came back to punish me.....you will not regret it......

 

[Awriterafoot]

My second TKR is Jan 21. Right knee, and had great success with left knee on August 20, and have been snowshoeing, walking a ton on a holiday back in England (17000 steps today, more than that one day last week) and am looking forward to the strength in right knee, too. Not really excited about recovery, but it's better than getting worse and worse...

Thank you. I am feeling better already..

Hi @holly928 I am scheduled the day before you. This site is great - lots of info and support. Have a read - post and get involved - should have a marked effect on reducing the terrors - take care Maggie x
