I am still feeling so much post-op from my recent left TKR and here I am, having had my anesthesia appointment for my right TKR next week.
Any input is appreciated, especially from those who have had similarly close knee replacements.
As my PA put it "this time is easier - at least you'll know what to expect". Didn't know how to react to that. My hospital discharge the first time around had been a complete mess. Yes, this way I have been able to confirm the aftercare before the surgery with more certainty than the first time around and I can only hope that it sticks this time around. That said, I really cannot postpone this. My legs are currently different lengths post-op (who else experienced this?) and it is putting my back into spasms. Additionally my right leg has grown Very weak almost immediately and keeps giving way as well as all manners of other calls for attention. Looking forward to being all better for summer 2022.
