@X2mangie how are you feeling love? How did your TKR go? I have been thinking about you and praying for ya.

:flwrysmile:
 
Hi Bike4fun I hope we both get everything out of this surgery that we need. I did go to a PT facility today to see if I want to do my PT there. Not sure they don't have many machines, mostly pulley weights? Anyone have any thoughts on how to know if a PT place is good?

@X2mangie I have been thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way! I can’t believe you were awake for the surgery! Could you hear what was going on? It sounds like you are taking it easy and being cared for well! I hope your recovery continues to progress well.

My TKR is next Wednesday, 1/16. I think I have done everything I can possibly do to prepare myself and my husband.

Keep hanging in there!
 
@X2mangie WOW awake, how many nights did you stay in the hospital? I didn't even know they would have you awake, did you ask to be awake? I can't even watch the YouTube for the surgery. Mine is the 16th.
 
@X2mangie I’m so thankful everything went well for you. You were awake? OMG that would be crazy. You were asleep for the procedure right? Get lots of rest and continue healing.

Thinking and Praying for ya:sleep:
 
@Love2RV Concerning your question about how to choose a physical therapy facility, I have just lucked out over the years. I would encourage you to talk to the physical therapist to get an idea of his/her philosophy concerning PT after knee replacement. Be sure to read the articles on this forum related to that.
 
Your a much better patient then I'll be, I want to be totally asleep. I'm scared enough now and I still have a few days till Wednesday.

I thought I already asked to be put on the January list but with my mind in a million places, I may have put it on the wrong thread or something. I was originally scheduled for December but it needed to be moved because of an infected tooth. The new surgery date is January 21st.

Hello everyone,
My surgery is on the 17th and I’m starting to get so nervous. I had a dream last night where I woke up and they cut my whole leg off :gaah:. I know this won’t be true but OMG that was scary. Anybody else have these kind of dreams?

Does anybody else Vape? What did your Dr. say about not Vaping a few days before and after?

Nervously awaiting my surgery day.
Love to ya all:dancy:
 
@Blaxican1 - wishing you the best possible outcome! My surgery is a day before yours. It does feel like it is getting close.

I just met with a friend who had the surgery 4 months ago. He had such a good experience and said the pain was really bad for about the first week, but then improved drastically. I know everyone’s experience is different, but I was very encouraged by my friend’s experience.

Best wishes!
 
:yes!::yes!:@Bike4Fun thank you for that. I’m getting worried more as the days come closer. Seriously, I know the pain is already so painful, that I’m praying it will be less than this pain I’m in now. My pain is seeming to get worse as days get closer:holysheep:. I just need encouragement to get through this. Jesus plz help me and everyone else going through this happy yet scary time. :yes!:
 
@Blaxican1 - I love your use of emoji's!

My husband said something this morning that really encouraged me. He said that even though right now I am not in severe pain, if I don't get the surgery, the pain will only get worse, and down the road, I may not be able to walk. This surgery is necessary for me to be able to walk up and down stairs, walk for extended periods of time, and do my favorite hobby-bicycling! :bicycle1:.

Sending encouraging thoughts your way! :loveshwr:
