Pleas add me to the January list. My left TKR is on Jan. 31, followed by my right knee 8 weeks later...March 28. Recently went into retirement due to pain. Ready to get my knees working again so I can enjoy retirement, family, friends, and all life has.
 
I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.


Welcome to our latest and all January Jackpots!

@jaschembra I will be thinking of you tomorrow, hoping all goes well for you. Be watching for your po posts on the other side...
 
Anybody have any hints to keep from getting sick prior to surgery? Surgery last month was canceled due to illness. I have 2 more weeks to wait. It seems everywhere you turn someone is coughing or sneezing or talking about their flu symptoms. I wish I could stay in a bubble for the next two weeks, lol.
 
@bottomshollow I am currently listed in our calendar as having my Surgery on January 17, 2013. Would you change my surgery date for my LTKR to January 23, 2017 ? :reading:
 
Surgery is jst 13 days away and getting really nervice its like all this is finally becoming real to me. Any ideas you have on making this any easyer
 
@Haley4 I am the day after you and i am starting to feel the nerves a little bit too. My knees have been pretty sore the past few days so that is good reinforcement that now is the time. I am a serial organiser so I have been cooking and preparing lists etc. Also helpful for me as I am a bit of a control freak, i am reading all the posts here on BS so I know all the good, bad and ugly things that might some my way. Here's hoping the days go fast!
 
my knees have been horrible! no nsaid now for a few days and i feel it! @DebM i also need to get lists ready! heck i probably should update my will while i am at it. lots to get done... less than a week away. talked to my "gold star lady from hospital today, i wanted to know if they had fans... ha i can not sleep without one!

@Kathi 777 i don't think you have to worry about a fan. You wake up often for staff to take your vitals etc and there are enough machines that you don't notthe silenc
 
I am off to see the anaesthetist tomorrow. I had a 2 level spinal fusion many years ago and epidural/ blocks are somewhat difficult. With my first Caesarian they couldn't do it and with my second I preconsulted an experienced anaesthetist who managed to succeed but It was higher than normal and affected my breathing a bit. Still I managed to be awake for the birth. My OS thought it prudent we look at my options before the day of surgery.
 
I recently found this forum. Thank you for all the information I have seen so far. I am scheduled to have RTKR on Jan. 30, 2017. Excited, nervous, but so ready. I am tired of the pain but more so tired of the inability to walk or stand without pain. Stairs are a nightmare. My quality of life can only get better. I have put this surgery off for as long as I can. Good luck to all of you having surgery this month.

@LizRose, I'm right behind you...Jan. 31 for left TKR. Then 8 weeks later, the right knee. YIkes! But I can't wait to be rid of this pain that is so disabling. Hang in there. We'll be through this soon, and writing about our successful surgeries!
 
@sargenti, we are sharing the date of Jan. 31 for left TKR. It's our lucky day. I'll be thinking of and praying for you on that day.
 
@Acetrace, we will be having surgery on the same day, Jan. 31. For me it is the left knee (TKR), with the right 8 weeks later. I wish I'd scheduled a bilateral on the same day as you did. I hope everything goes wonderful for you!

Hi Sue. I am so looking forward to a new knee and a new beginning. Good luck to you! I agree about the disabling part. I have had trouble with my knees for years due in part to my work. I put it off because I was pretty young or so I was told for TKR. I am now unable to enjoy life and the pain has increased so it's time. I plan on doing my left knee possibly over summer or early fall. My surgeon wants to wait and give me time to recover. I see many others do 2nd surgery much sooner. He will not do both together which is what I would like since both my knees are bone on bone.
