Thanks Rose1940. I am living in Europe, though I am from Canada, so everything is in a language not my own...so that's why I thought I would read about the experiences of others on this site.
@CJB Welcome, and I'm glad you have a surgery date. This site is wonderful, and everyone is more than willing to offer advice, experiences, and support. I haven't even had my first TKR yet (coming in December), but I already find this site to be priceless.
Please will you tell us the full dates of your knee and hip replacements and which limb it is each time, so we can make a complete signature for you? Thank you.

@CJB
I am waiting for a knee replacement too but it's not likely to be until next April. I am trying to gather as much info before then as I can.
I had a hip replacement in July and found this site invaluable then. You don't have long to wait until your op now. I hope it goes well for you.
I am still waiting 4 a surgery date. Ortho’s office is working on getting pre approval from Ins but probably late January. I also am trying to b as prepared as possible b4 surgery. I have good confidence in my surgeon. He has been doing this for 20+ years. I also looked him up on line even though he was recommended by my internist. Nothing but excellent reviews.
