2018 January Jackpots - Are you having knee surgery in January?

[glasgowolf]

Oxford Partial Right Knee Replacement 10th January, initial date was 20th December, but we are away 29th, and I did not want to be immobile for Christmas.

So we pushed out until the 10th Jan, safe to say I am absolutely bricking it.

I need some help. I joined a few days ago and followed the instructions to post a new thread but I DO NOT have the new thread button at the top nor at the bottom of my page to post. I am having a BTKR on January 29 and this group seems to have a lot of information I would love to see. Thanks SADD

Thank you.. Judy. I still do not have the New Thread button and can only post via someone else's post. If I try to send a PM it tells me error I have no administrative authority to do so. I am sure I will get the hang of this forum once I start reading and posting though.
Yes I am having my surgery on January 29 and have to make the BIG decision of either a BTKR or RTKR first. I am cleared for the BTKR but really can't decide. I go back and forth with my decision. I hope to find answers here.

 

[bottomshollow]

@SADD, follow the instructions above---below is a picture of what you will see when you clickk on Knee Replacement Pre-Op Area. See the "Post New Thread" circled in red. Click there---type in the title you want then tab down to the dialogue box and post.

Looking forward to having this all behind me and begin to do things I want to do again.

Booked in for an 'Attune' TKR on my right knee for 26th Jan with Dr Paul Allen.

Bring it on...good luck all!
