Just had a phone call from the hospital, they've put my op off for one day, now on the 4th instead of the 3rd, eeeek another day to wait and worry.

Hope they don't put it off anymore, was just getting myself psyched up for it on that day

 

[woody8755]

Mine is the 14th Oct. I hope they don't alter that date. I know the feeling, the closer it gets the more I think about it

 

[Brithael]

Hi
My total knee replacement is oct 16. It cannot get here quick enough. August 4 2016 I was mountain biking had an accident causing a tibial plateau fracture with dislocated knee sch.VI. Had external for 12 days then went in and put internal metal in. Hospital for 20 days. Then elevated bed rest for 6 weeks. Pt started after that twice a week. Non weightbearing until dec 15. Then ever so slowly weightbearing . May I had arthroscopic and manipulative surgery. Didn't work. So finally was scheduled for tkr for October. Since late august pain is up to 7-8 during the day. Oh I also have nerve damage from the knee down (no feeling) except big toe . I have been told I'll have a limp. But I don't plan on it. This has been a long journey. Hopefully over soon. Flexion is now 115 and extension is 6.
