Well, here I am sharing the experience of RTKR.Mine performed 8 am this morning! To the people that have up and coming TKRs this forum is very helpful and has some really cool people that are very supportive. Here's my story
1.FEAR n anxiety.
For years coming up tkr I was not the most pleasant person at times, became overweight, and clinically depressed. As I was being prepared for the surgery this morning, I was crying, and totally freaked out. ( I pride myself on being brave and strong so this added to it) The spine block is what I feared the most and that was a breeze!
When I woke up in recovery, I had the most amazing feeling of relief and for the first time in years felt mentally fresh and joyful! I wish this feeling for everyone. Granted there are very strong pain meds involved
But, I still feel GREAT!
