2017 November Nimbles - Are you having knee surgery in November?

[PoetryChef]

Hi, @Bexbex47 and @Amazon1024. Yes, November is a big month in my world as well. I have bilateral knee replacement scheduled. My right on November 8th and my left on November 10th. I think I can, I think I can... This will be a journey for sure.

Just scheduled yesterday for November 29th. First one. Think it will be left one. Need to have both done. Kinda overwhelmed! Lots to do before, and all the reading just keeps creating more questions....

Please add me to the Nimbles, with Left TKR on November 1st with Right TKR to follow depending on left knee mobility... rumors suggest 3-4 weeks...8 weeks....i.e., just depends, I guess. But I'll try to focus on the next step, then the next, then ..... so on. Some concern because this healing journey travels winter in big Sky country's ice, cold, snow, minimal sunlight. But this isn't my first rodeo--several surgeries in the past; this will be the first orthopedic procedure. And my next mtn hike in a year or so will not end crawling on all fours but rather walking on two straight legs. That's it in a nutshell.

@MtnMaire, welcome to the fold. I am scheduled for bilateral surgery in November--the right knee on the 8th and the left on the 10th. I bid you a hearty hello and a strong hold. This is going to be a ride.

best,
Sherry

Hi Eveyone I just heard yesterday that I'm going to have my left TKR on 7th Nov. I had my right TKR on 10th Aug and I am still somewhat stiff and cannot yet do the stairs 'normally', but other than that I have healed very well. So 2017 is set to be a year to try my patience as I have had to learn to take the healing slowly and not not to push myself too hard or my knee. But, as of yesterday I could drive again, which is good. Hope all goes well for everyone booked for forthcoming operations....

Welcome to all our newer November Nimbles! I can't believe Nov is just around the corner now, I know it's just Oct 2nd, but I have a feeling this month will fly by for me. We are so busy with the kids schedules and what not, that it will be Nov in a blink of the eye!

 

[horselady3]

Thank you for adding me.
So after 4 years of refusal. I’ve finally given in right TKR booked for 28th November. Feeling very nervous not quite sure if 8 weeks of this will be easy

Nov 13 for me. I had LTKR Feb 16 of this year and now I need a revision on the same knee. Evidently my PCL was torn during surgery. My knee moves in ways it is not supposed to and it has not stopped hurting since the Feb surgery. Not too happy about it all.

@susieo461, so sorry to hear about your surgical revision. I am scheduled for btkr on the 8th and 10th. You and I will recover together.

 

[susieb64]

My left partial knee replacement (scary word!) is confirmed for 13th November.

 

[Sue4473]

Hi, I'm scheduled for a Left TKR on November 2. I was a regular on the forum following my RTKR in 2010. I'm so glad you're still here.
