Yesterday went and schedule my surgery date which is Aug. 31. Came home and was so sick to my stomach. I know this is the right thing to do ..... but it is so scary. I am the one that has polio on right leg and have to wear a full length brace. 5 Years ago I had to have surgery on my left leg to remove 12 staples that have been in the knee for about almost 40 or so years ago. They was starting to back out only 2 was backing out but the Dr. took them all out. But after having polio for 56 years my left leg has been taken all the work and it is completely shot. But I had such a bad experience with my knee surgery 5 years ago... I couldn't walk on the leg for about a month...finally I could at least put some weight on it after a month...but every since it has been just going down hill, with all the pain and the leg being so much weaker. I finally just couldn't take it any more and I went back to the Dr. (which is a different dr. from my first dr. 5 years ago) and I do have faith in this Dr. this is all he does is replace knee's so he knows what he is doing....but it sure is scareing me on having the surgery...but reading all what you guys are saying is helping me so much. Thanks sorry for being so long.
