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 October Feisties!

Feel free post your surgery date in this thread, and I will add you to the list. Start a thread of your own in the Pre-Op Knee Section to post comments and share your journey toward knee replacement. Here's the link that gives you the instructions you need to do this: Starting a new thread and posting

To start a new thread, hover your mouse over "Knee" on the blue line at the top of the page for the drop down menu. Click on either the "Pre Op" forum. On the upper right hand side under the "Joint Replacement Awareness Day" banner, you will see a black rectangle with the words "Post New Thread" in white.

Hi
I am having my left knee replaced on October 29. LTKR. Yikes.

I am 52, and blew it out skiing in 1988. 9 surgeries later, it’s time for a new one.
And I think I injured my right one last week trying to chase the dog.
I want to be able to play doubles tennis, go on long, pain-free walks, and have my teenage son stop telling me that I waddle when I walk.

Hi mine surgery is 10/25. Getting little nervous. Was wondering what everybody was taking to the hospital. My dr. said I'd probably be in only one night. Also did a lot of you but the riser pillow from Amazon to elevate your leg? Tks.

Also I want to day thanks for allowing me to join you group.

Thanks for adding me to the Oct group !

Was wondering what everybody was taking to the hospital.

I took too much. I could have gone with just my cell phone & charger & I would have been better off. Except for a pair of socks. I expected my leg to be swollen so I brought a pair of non-binding diabetic socks. That was a good purchase.

As for stuff for the recovery period, sometimes I wish I had the leg lifter. I took a transfer bench for the shower from a friend who passed away recently, I've used it for ten days & could probably use a regular shower seat now. I also took her recliner & that's what I've been sleeping in. The insurance company provided for a commode that I put over the toilet. That's a life saver.

If I could have afforded it, I would have liked a really good ice wrap.

Otherwise, I don't have the ability or space to buy things if I'm only going to use them for a little while.
