Going ahead with Plan B. Put me down for my Right TKR on June 14th.

 

[Floridagal]

Hi y'all! I was scheduled for a right TKR today for June 21. I am also on the cancellation list so it could come sooner. I'm a newbie to posting so may make some mistakes. Like Sistersinhim mentioned, most days I can get along fine but last week I found myself on crutches after a workout. That made me decide it was time since I am not getting any younger and the left knee sometimes bothers me. This is scarrrrry. I will appreciate your sunshine.

I don't think of myself as brave. I am actually pretty scared. Both of my knees are so messed up that doing both made sense. I have worked with my surgeon for years as he helped put this off for as long as possible. I really like and trust him so that helps, but when I really think about what I am preparing to have done----YIKES!

I'm scheduled for a bilateral TKA on June 30. I just NEED to have it done. Tired of all the years of pain!!

Getting my Left knee replaced June 1 at one pm. 42 year old male, 2 kids, 4 and 2, and I have had 12 surgeries on my I left knee after a total tear of my lateral meniscus that was not repairable.

I have had micro fracture, meniscal transplant followed by infection. Most recently 5 years ago I had a DFO and a debridement. The knee hurts all the time, leg is weak, and it is affecting my whole well being. I am scared out of my mind to undergo another surgery and recovery, but I want to teach my 4 year old to ski next fall. That is my why, I want my life back.

I am scheduled for TKR on 6/2! My first and I have heard it is not for the weak of heart!

Hi all. Have not been on this site for awhile as I have been dealing with sleep study and learning more about sleep apnea/CPAP. I had a study last Friday. Didn't sleep until 3 or 4 am but they got enough data to diagnose sleep apnea. I have to go back (6/1) and repeat the study using CPAP to determine correct pressure settings for my therapy. UGH! I want time to get used to the mask, etc. before going in for my TKR. So...it looks like I will probably delay my surgery until July or August. I probably should have gone in for a sleep study several years back but was in denial when my husband indicated I might have sleep apnea.

Welcome to all the newcomers.

@birdinger, if you do change your surgery date, please let me know so I may make the necessary changes.

 

[birdinger]

@bottomshollow, I will definitely let you know. Thanks!

 

[Happydale]

Welcome to our June group, Hope2Ski. It sounds like you've already been through a lot with your knee, so I can see why you decided it's time to get a more permanent solution. With two little kids, you've got a lot of motivation to make a change. A theme I see recurring on this site is folks being tired of their knees dictating their lives.

 

[Happydale]

And welcome to you too, @loulives. I've been reading as much as I can on this site, and I hope you'll find it as helpful as I have. While I appreciate others being honest about their ups and downs, it is reassuring for me to know what I might expect. The articles are all really helpful too.

I'm scheduled for TKR June 6. I had my right knee replaced on March 7 and I'm looking forward to having my left knee done. Yes, I am a bit anxious, but I would much rather get rid of the constant pain of arthritis.
