Very much so, @nuttybrunette. I thought I was fourth up, but it turns out I'm fifth on the fourth. The race is on between @NWgirl and @VonnieN for first place honours.

Place your bets!

I've 'followed' everybody on the list to make sure I can keep up with their progress.

well think I might be first as Australia is ahead of the world time wise. So unless they cancel I have to be there early Tuesday morning.
 
I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

Welcome to our latest and all May Marvels!

I am in a private room too. 10 years ago I had a catheter and a drain placed in my lower leg. Now they won't be doing that. I'm assuming risks of infection outweigh the need for those things. My doctor recommended that I take a container of lysol wipes in and wipe TV remote, bed side table, bathroom door handle, anything..... Will definitely be doing that. Well....hubby will be:) I got my call time call yesterday. 8am surgery time, arrive at 6am. Hospital 35-40 minutes away. Man, that will be an early morning! Not much time for me to get my full on panic attack going:scaredycat::shocked:I'm really good at those. I scare people:rotfl:

You can "follow" each person on the list. I'm not sure it alerts you to a new thread or post but it lets you check on them and once you've found their pre-op or post-op thread you can "watch thread" to be kept up to speed. there's probably a much clearer pinned post somewhere explaining that - the admins will probably point in you in the right direction.
 
Hi all, I am scheduled for a right knee replacement on May 8th. I've been lurking here a bit and trying to learn as much as possible to be ready. I've had two arthroscopic surgeries on the knee, this will be my first replacement.

I just learnt that I have to be at the Hospital for 11.00 so I wont be having surgery till the afternoon. I can eat before 6.00 a light breakfast toast cup of tea no no fluids after nine. I am lucky I am only 15 minutes from the Hospital. Not knowing where you are I think I will be having my surgery while you are heading to the Hospital :O :yikes::friends:

Hello. Very new here - this is my first post although I’ve been lurking and reading for a bit now.

I’m scheduled for a PKR on May 14 on my left knee. The preparation is difficult to balance with working and having a busy home life.
 
Any essential oil users out there? I just learned your not supposed to diffuse or use them at least a week before surgery. Some “may” inhibit blood clotting. Always leaning something new
