Hi all,
Well as the title says its my turn tomorrow the 26th for my TKR. Got mixed emotions really ,dont think anyone looks forward to going under the surgeons knife but on the other hand who wants to be walking with a limp and constantly being overtaken by people 30yrs older than myself.
Of course I,ve got to ring up first tomorrow morning and see if the bed is available and if it is, I,m in.As I may of posted before I having the LCS by Biomet its the one with the rotating bearing,its the one my surgeon prefers so not a problem with me.I believe I,m going to be in for 3-4 days,never been in hospital for longer than half a day before and with my low boredom threashold....ah well never mind.
The thing that I keep reminding myself of is theres always someone a lot worse off, having more complicated life threatening operations than I,m getting tomorrow and I,m sure there are people with inoperable illnesses that would jump at the chance some of us are receiving.
So hope everyone keeps getting that little bit better every day and will try and post thread next week.
Good luck all and cheers
