2.5 more days until I get my new knee.
Will they give me something to calm me down before the spinal?
Do spinals work most of the time? I don't want to feel anything.
Do I tell the anesthesiologist that I want enough propanol so that i don't wake up until it's over?
- have been doing water cardio for 2 months, lost 17 pounds and definitely feel stronger
- Passed all my pre op tests with flying colors
- have to arrive at the hospital at 5am on the 13th with surgery at 7am
- OS said I am his first surgery of the day and he will be all amped up on coffee...good to know since I can't have any!
- spinal with femoral block and propanol
- home Thursday or Friday
- walker, commode, and pump for circulation being delivered on Monday
- CPM machine in the hospital
- going to use my existing scar (from my reconstructive surgery 25 years ago)
- totally trust my OS
