Wow, things keep rolling along toward surgery day on Wednesday. Did my first scrub last night. Scrubbing each knee for 3 minutes while upside down was a chore. Tonight am moving shower chair in. And they tell you to use 1/3 of the bottle each night but put it in a thick plastic bottle that you can't see or feel through. I didn't get much suds after doing both knees so will squirt out the remainder tonight and measure half to use.
Physical therapy called to set up my first home session for noon on Saturday. They said the first visit is to make sure I'm elevating, icing and medicating correctly, look at my knees and go over a few basic things I can start working on at home. They will then be back on Monday. And they said my OS was one of the very, very, very best around. It was comforting because the practice is a large one with several knee specialists who friends said I should have chosen, but I really liked this OS more than them because he spent so much time over the past 3 years explaining everything, asking me if I had any questions and then watching me to see if I did. So he'll probably be doing my hip replacement next year.
