TKR Ellejay's recovery threads, first and second

[SuperSnapper]

Fingers and everything crossed for you - except knees and ankles , of course.

Keep up with the First Defence - recommended to me by my GP niece. She says she's seen some good research on its effectiveness.

Glad you're feeling optimistic! I had a cold when I had my surgery and they went through with it, so I am hopeful that all will go well for you on Saturday!

 

[Ellejay]

Well one day to go, the sore throat is still with me but it's no worse this morning, so fingers crossed all will be well. I've had high doses of vitamin C and zinc, I've gargled with salt, I've drunk lots of fluids, so hopefully I've managed to stall it. I'm feeling more positive today, I was so worried yesterday, I was so sure the op would be cancelled.
Have a great day everyone xxx

Sounds good @Ellejay it's all those positive thoughts heading your way x

Keeping you in our thoughts!

As a side note, I had a cold when I had my BTKR---the surgeon was not at all concerned.

I am hoping that yours is a "go"!

Thank you everyone, it is so kind of you all to think of me. I'm feeling fine now, so panic over I'm sure. Last long soak in a bath tonight, early night ready for last drink at 6am tomorrow morning. I'll post here as soon as I'm able

My goodness @Ellejay, already.. this day seems to have just crept up here. Best of luck and good wishes to you!!

 

[TexasTee]

It's well over by now, I'd assume - so welcome to the other side Lyn! The waiting is over, let the healing commence!

Hi everyone, I'm back in my room, all seems well. The anaesthetist wasn't at all concerned about my cold, all that worrying! I'm already icing, it's not easy to elevate at the moment, I have two air compression thingies on both legs and I seem to be wired up to anything and everything. The nurses are being really hood with painkillers, they are not busy, there are only a few of us in here tonight so I'm getting excellent care.
I will report in tomorrow. xx
