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

[alexlda]

Greetings to all my January Jackpot buddies. Looks like I am first up on 1/2/18 so I will start my recovery thread in the next few days. I am not terrified anymore, but definitely a little anxious and trying to make sure I have everything ready before my big day. It's a lot to think about since I am having both done and I will be out of commission for a while. I think this is what has had me so distracted I can't freak out. Talk to me when I am headed to the hospital on Tuesday morning!

Best of luck to us all for successful, uneventful surgeries and smooth recoveries.

Since you are first, I nominate you to be our leader! Sending you best wishes for a great surgery. I'll be thinking about you Tuesday.

[LanaKay]

I went to the site but I can't figure out how to post my date of surgery without starting a new thread. It's Jan. 9 on left knee, tkr.

 

[LanaKay]

Thoughts are for you as Tuesday nears. i will have mine done the following Tuesday. Time to get this going and be on the other side getting better.

28 days to go and counting!!!! This cold weather is really taking a toll on the old knees. I will be looking forward for updates on those getting surgery before me... Good Luck to all!!!!

 

[rpreston]

I am having a partial left knee replacement
on Wed Jan 3rd. This follows a partial on my right knee last April. My surgery is at 7:30!am EST... arrival at hospital at 5:30. Hoping to come home the same day. I am having
A Game Ready Ice Compression Machine Delivered tomorrow for a three week rental. It was a great help when I had the right knee done.

 

[rpreston]

Please tell me again how I find those who have had partial knee replacements. Something about “yellow “ but I couldn’t find it. Thanks.

 

[Buckbuck]

I have my right TKR THIS Friday, January 5th at Hospital For Special Surgery in NYC. Very nervous. I’m 51 and a former competitive cyclist/outdoor enthusiast, so I’m really looking forward to getting back on my feet. I’m exceptionally nervous.

dwill3 here. Sorry, I'm not computer literate enough to figure out the posting system, but I did register today. I'm having my second (left) TKR on January 30. Two years, to the day, from my first (right) TKR. I've never been completely satisfied with the first set of results, so I'm fearful, but optimistic for the second. I take partial responsibility for never feeling a full recovery the first time. I wasn't great on the therapy regimen. I vow to do better this time, because I don't want two knees at 60%. I'm still too active and have too many plans to let my knees slow me down.
