New here at the forum. I am scheduled to have biltateral knee replacement in Indianapolis on June 9, 2009. A little anxious, but can't wait to get it over.

Hi, Ed. Welcome to the forum...glad to have you. If you have questions or concerns, just start a thread of your own and there will be plenty of support here for you.
 
Hey, Ed (is that right?) welcome to BoneSmart. I moved you post into a thread of its own so you'll get answers and help.

I bet you can't wait! Just think of those nice new shiny, painfree knees you'll have. If you have a search around in both knee forums, you'll finde quite a lot of members here have had BTKRs and done really, really well with them. It's so much better than having to hobble on the remaining bad knee while you try and rehab the new one!

All the best.
 
Ed,
Welcome to the forum. I had BTKR on 6/18/08. I go back for my 1 year check and baseline xrays for my spacers on 6/19/09. Then it is every 2 years for new xrays to keep tabs on the wear and tear of the spacer. When the spacer needs replacing, they will do that..... I expect it to be a good long time!
I hope you have been working on your upper body strength, and are looking forward to getting your life back. I went downhill skiing again this past February. It was exhilarating!
You will go thru all the emotions of being: scared, nervous, excited, anxious, depressed, and finally rewarded by your hard work at PT.
All the best of luck to you!
 
Good on yer, Crystal - knew you'd be first onto this!
