Hi @Keen Skier
Thanks for your good wishes. I'm just going to make some pecan cookies for the surgeon, anaesthetist and anyone else who comes in my room. I've made lavender hearts for the nurses. I think all my bits and pieces have arrived now (wedge pillow, leg lifter, grabber thing, ice packs etc). Lots of audible books on the iPad as well. I'm good to go. :)

Hi Tabbycat! I have been out of town...took a last minute mini vacation to Sedona, AZ with my middle daughter, and just got back at 1:00am this morning! I am hobbling around like crazy today trying to get everything done before surgery tomorrow. Been thinking about you, and want to wish you a super smooth surgery and we'll connect on the other side with new knees :). It's going to go great for us both!!

Hugs, Geepsmom

Hoping all is well with @Alaris today. And only one more April Rainbow to go and we will ALL be recovering!
 
Looking out for @Alaris on the other side!
Best of luck to @skiwizz and to @Mrst for tomorrow, hope all goes well for you both.
Love, Tabbs xxx

Hi @cot,
Welcome to the forum :wave:
Start a thread in recovery and let us know how you are getting on.
Take care,
Love, Tabbs xxx
 
Thank you... I can't seem to gage when this swelling is suppose to go down.. I've kept Ice on it since arriving home on Weds. (Tues was surgery) There are no different markings, so I can't tell if this is normal...
 
Hi @cot,
Did you start your own recovery thread, that way more people will see your questions and be able to offer advice. Click on 'help and info' at the top, then how to use the forum, and then how to start a new thread. Also if you put the date of your surgery in your signature everyone can see what you had done and whe. If you get stuck I suggest you tag Celle (like this @Celle). She is very helpful. Actually we are at a similar stage, and very early on yet, swelling is a normal healing reaction, you can't rush it. Icing elevating and resting are the best thing, but there's lots more advice in the library.
Love, Tabbs xxx
 
Grandma new knee,
That is good news, happy to hear you have made a good start, let's hope it continues. Isn't it good to have it over with.
Take care,
Love Tabby :kittykiss:
