I have had several surgeries but this is the first time I am experiencing horrible anxiety. I had first TKR Nov 2012. Infection occurred so had antibiotic spacer in September 2013. Because of many family issues I have but off having spacer removed. I am now scheduled for September 6. I had no more than normal anxiety for any prior surgery. This time I am a mess. Maybe it’s my age almost 76 with stage 3 CKD diabetes. I am financially helping my daughter and grandchildren even though I have limited income. I know I will have to go to rehab as I live alone. I have read as much as I could find and have done all the deep breathing as I can stand. Can’t sleep and unable to even pack for at least two or three weeks in rehab. Don’t know if there is an answer just venting helps. Thanks.
