2016 April Rainbows - Are you having knee surgery in April?

[Alaris]

First time user, trying to figure out how to post here! My surgery is scheduled for April 27. First time, left knee.

Surgery scheduled for 4/27, total left knee. My first time, but getting lots of encouragement from friends who have been there!

My surgery is coming up on April 7th. There is a lot to do before hand like getting a physical - meeting with your surgeon's assistant - taking a class at the hospital where your surgery will be. I took my class last Thursday (17th) and I am so much more at ease regarding my hospital stay.

Please take me off the April list. I'm having to postpone my elective surgery to help my husband with more pressing health issues.

@PolarBear60, you have been officially removed from the April surgery list. Best laid plans often have to be revised since life just keeps happening no matter what.

I've finally decided to commit. After many weeks of toing and froing a sudden calm has decended and I've madly started preparing for the big event. ( maybe it's come from watching the birds in the garden busy courting and gathering nesting material?) At any rate I haven't got long to wait now. April 14th is the big day.
