If you're having surgery in the month of July, I hope you'll join our July Sparklers for a bright start to your life with your new joint!

Your fellow Sparklers will help you along the way with warm hugs and lots of support!

We have found that surgery and recovery is easier if you have a group of folks who are going through similar experiences.

So post and tell us your surgery date and get ready to meet your fellow July Sparklers!

Hi @Ruby9297
You're the first one to sign up for the July Sparklers. I'm sure more people will be along to join you soon.

I will start the list with your operation date.

July Sparkler here! Bilateral TKR scheduled for July 26, 2017 and I am terrified. So glad I found this site. I've been reading about horrible experiences with TKRs on other blogs. Had me in tears. Then I found you guys. So glad I did! All the positive and supportive posts have given me the confidence to go through with the surgery. But I'm still terrified.

Hi, scheduled for a July 19 revision of left knee TKR, three years after having TKRS on both. Not nervous just hopeful!

Hi, all! Brand new to the forum and will have my first TKR on July 11. If things go well, I'll be having the left done in October. I have a positive attitude. Right now I'm consumed with getting all of the arrangements made in my life. I want to educate myself here. Thank you.

Hi Cindi, welcome to the forum. I'm a newbie, too--just joined about a week ago. You and I will be surgery sisters. My left TKR is also on July 11th. We will be able to compare notes very closely!

I'm scheduled for TKR of my left knee on July 20, which hopefully will result in a matched set of functional knees. I had my right knee replaced last June, and it's doing great. I'm so glad to have the July Sparklers with me through this journey! BoneSmart helped me so much last summer!
