I’m starting this a week before my TKR. My day is a week from tomorrow, Monday August 27, 2018.
I am currently 7 weeks tomorrow post op from my second THR.
I am as prepared as I can be. I didn’t need to do a pre-op hospital visit, just a phone interview with a nurse, which I did on Friday. I found out my report-to-hospital time is 6am, for a 7:30am surgery. I have my ice machine, extra ice packs, have a walker, crutch & cane. We had grab bars installed in the shower before the THR & I bought a transfer bench to use after the knee. I think I’ll feel safer for awhile. Our spare bathroom is teeny: 3x5. My husband removed the sink, installed grab bars on the walls so I can use this bathroom easier with my walker and it’s right outside the bathroom.
I will update next week after my surgery!
