Revision TKR Knee revision fail

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I lost the web sight .
I had my revision on July 15 and was in the Hosp for the 4 days. The nurses were wonderful and the surgeon, couldn't ask for more. I was ok until mid Sept when a suture came loose inside and my knee filled up with fluid. The day I saw the Dr, he told his PA to set up surgery for any day. By the time I got home, my surgery was already set for the next day. After that, I was doing really well. Getting my stamina back, or at least trying to. Then last Friday, I noticed my knee we feeling weird. Sure enough, it was swelling again. I sent a video to my surgeon and he said he wanted me in his office ASAP. Since Friday, it had doubled in size. So I'm assuming I'll have another surgery this week.
My body rejectes just about anything that's put inside. Kind of scares me.
I hope everyone here is doing better than I am.
Take care.
 
I’m so sorry. That is really scary- anytime surgery is warranted but especially when they do it so quickly.
when do you go in to see your OS?
 
I go see him this week. Hopefully today (Mon) or tomorrow.
 
@napper So sorry you are still fighting all this. Please keep us updated! We are with you all the way.
 
Just checking to see when you see the doc? Keep us in the loop.
 
I am trying to post. I just found out that I have cracked and fractured both of my knee replacements. They are 3 years old. Yes dr checked to see if they were defective. No not defective.
