I'm ridiculously excited.

First total knee replacement scheduled for September 13th, 2016. Left Knee A little nervous but so looking forward to the outcome and getting back to an active lifestyle. The workouts are so difficult right now. Best of luck to everyone else having surgery this month. Cheers!

@Denise M... We have the same surgery date. I discussed this with pt yesterday. I come home afterwards and I can barely walk. She said its all part of getting the legs ready for surgery. Hope it makes our recovery easier. [emoji4]

Thanks for letting me join the group! I will tell you that I got a bit of a start when I saw the jewel assigned to my name...a butterfly. My mother always loved butterflies and had a huge jewelry collection of them. When I started writing children's stories the main characters were two little butterfly sisters. I think this is a very positive omen!
 
Hi going to have bilateral knee surgery Sept 8th! How do I join the September list?
 
Hi all new to site and trying to learn how to use. I'm having bilateral knee surgery on Sept 8th. Only 51 years old, so it is kind of depressing, arthritis and genetics are my knees problem. But looking forward to being able to walk without pain.

My name is Bonnie. I am 72 years old and from Henderson, Nevada. I had hip surgery in 2010 and, although the hip is now great , the foot itself was been numb and felt swollen ever since the surgery date. I lost 90 pounds since then because I walked every morning and did the things I should have, but didn't do earlier in my life. But now I need a right knee replacement and have not done the daily walk since November. Although I haven't changed my eating habits I have gained nearly 20 pounds so I am looking forward to being able to walk again without pain. I have been afraid to have surgery again because I can only walk well with a cane and have been unable to drive and both of those things make me feel less independent. Last time I went home directly from the hospital and had to deal with unreliable home therapists and the like. This time I will go to a wonderful rehab facility and I am anxiously looking forward to it. The surgery date is September 12th, so please add my name.
