HI Valiant Val....I'm having BTKR in Nov 19th so I'm really looking to seeing how your recovery goes!!!! Best of luck tomorrow!!!!!

 

[snowberry]

Hi,
I am booked in to have TKR on 8th Nov, very nervous and wish it were over. Good luck to you all. I am from the
UK, so hope I may join in. Looks a brilliant site.

 

[Welshchick]

Good luck to everyone - and remember to be kind to yourselves and take one day at a time!

Just heard that my op has been cancelled due to MRSA breach on the ward. I don't know when the next date will be. :-(

 

[Timetolive]

@snowberry , welcome. My date is the 9th! I am nervous too. I wish there was a way to calm the nerves.

@Welshchick . I am sorry your surgery was cancelled, although you don't want to be subjected to MRSA! Divine intervention? They do a nasal MRSA swab here as a pre-op - glad they do. I hope you get scheduled soon.

 

[Welshchick]

They do MRSA checks here to for elective surgery too Timeto Live. The problem lies with emergency admissions for othopaedic surgery who go to the same ward. If one of them is an MRSA carrier they close down the ward and deep clean. Good precaution, but frustrating - for my first op I went through three cancellations and this is the second one this time round. But you're right, I don't want MRSA. I now have to rethink what I'm going to do with myself over the next few weeks!

Sorry you were cancelled ! But better to be safe!

@Welshchick, you have been removed from the November surgery list. Let me know when you get a new date. I, too, am sorry you are having this delay.

 

[bottomshollow]

@snowberry, you have been officially added to the November surgery list!

 

[Timetolive]

Keeping everyone in my prayers for a safe and successful surgery! Monday is the day for me!

 

[kayak59]

Glad you got cleared, @Timetolive! Had my chemical stress test this morning. Went well, no nasty side effects from the meds, and I couldn't even tell my heart rate increased. But boy, am I tired! They said that was as strenuous as the treadmill, even though you are lying in bed. Now I believe them! Wish it was EOD Friday so I could just stop working. Still have plenty of To Dos on my list.

 

[Timetolive]

@kayak59, I am glad all went well with the stress test! I am about to decide my "To-Dos" may not get done. My uncle died last night, so there are services to attend this weekend too. You know, life will go on whether our houses are clean and tidy. I think we should concentrate on getting our "nests" and ourselves ready. Time is drawing near.

 

[kayak59]

@Timetolive, yes, at this point, since most of my ToDos involve cleaning up things, I think the resolution will involve shifting and hiding! I am going on my last kayaking trip with my old knees tomorrow. will be a great stress reliever and nice sunny weather. I ended up going to bed early last night, cannot believe how much that chemical stress test exhausted me!

 

[Timetolive]

Good luck @snowberry! Are you having your surgery on Sunday, the 8th?

@kayak59 and @Bubbles, we are almost there! You both will be in my prayers for a successful surgery and a comfortable recovery!

Got the surgery behind me now to begin recovery.
