If you relax I will relax, deal. I just got bumped from noon Monday January 7th to 3:00pm then now I am bumped to 10:00am. I wasn't nervous before but all of the changes I'm STARTING TO
AMEN!Oh, my dear, the nerves and anticipation are the hardest thing. BUT, you will be surprised that it isn't as bad as our minds can build it up to be! Trust us dear one.. It really isn't that bad, and each passing week after surgery get better and better!!
I feel Dewey's pain, I am 53 and scheduled for bilateral knee replacement surgery on March 11th. I am tired of the pain, tired of taking Advil, tired of taking Vicodin. I have had several pity parties myself. They are worse and keep getting worse despite pool aerobics, stationary bike, etc. So looking forward to having them done and getting my life back. I used to be an avid walker and now I can't walk half a block without pain and I limp and I have a weird walk now, not very attractive. Not that I care about that but I am sick of limping and am sick of the pain. My doctor is a young doctor and when he looked at me a couple of months ago and asked "are you ready?", I was stunned, I could not believe it. Hang in there Dewey, next Christmas you indeed will be force to be reckoned with, work hard at PT and stay positive!
