Less than 24hrs. Still doesn't seem real:DOH:
Good luck to you all and us all and see you on the other side
Nerves are now replaced with excitement as at long last it'll be the road to recovery not treading water. Looking forward to the sedation!!

Good luck! You both are going to do great!!
Piglet, I LOVE how you explain your nervous excitement; that pretty much sums up how I'm feeling too! :wink1:
See you on the other side!

Thanks for signing me up to the group! So at this time next week, I will be all done, on good drugs, and most likely will have been up and walking around several times already! As far as I know, i am first on the schedule for the day, so I am REALLY glad about that! Waiting until last as I did for my first knee in January was awful! IN some ways I wish I could do it today, but I still have things to do and most importantly...a massage to get on Saturday morning! Lucky me! Now THAT is something to look forward to!! :wink1:

My thoughts are with the people now post op in May. My number is real close to coming up for RTKR on Wednesday, 6:00 A.M. I can relate to the nerves and the hope that I will have two working legs under me like others have posted. I guess my one of my favorite parts about the operation is going to be being able to have an even tan. Right now I have stripes from a leg brace I wear when outside. I keep telling myself that the journey is to the destination. I have good range of motion, been doing flutter kicks for the Quads but carrying about 30 extra pounds from inactivity. Last surgery was 1986. At that time the good doctor reconstructed my knee. Same knee, now 26 years later going to get fixed again. I'll be back on the other side.

I am new to this forum - my husband recently contracted Septic infection in his right knee - as a result of this his knee is totally shot - the infection destroyed his cartilage in that knee - he went for a MRI last night and found out he is bone on bone - he is very worried - he sees his doctor on friday to find out what they can do - my question is does anybody have any advice or has a similar situation and can tell me if he can have a total knee replacement - any information is appreciated
thanks
thanks

Hi myforte
Welcome to the forum. It is very sad your husband is having such problems but you have come to the right place for support.
Above you will find a link “Library” that contains a lot of information.
Also, if you would, please go to the Pre-Op page and start your own thread with the information you put on this post. More folks will be looking for it there and will be along soon to offer their help.
Our group is from around the world so please allow a bit of time for responses. In the meantime let me tag Josephine our orthopedic surgical nurse extraordinaire. @Josephine:
New Thread Directions
https://bonesmart.org/forum/ho...ead-t3513.html
Essentially, you go to the Knee Replacement Pre-Op Area and there should be a "New Thread" button on the left side.
Again, welcome!

Hello Everyone, I'm having my knee surgery on this coming Friday and I think I'm over being nervous.

Hi and Welcome! You've certainly come to the right place.
Wow! Someone younger than me! I too was, an am, nervous. Your surgeon will prescribe something to ease your mind now if you need it; just call them. For me, it's been a blessing. There is also a ton of really great information in the library section of this forum. BTW my Left Total Knee is in just over 12 hours from this post. :yes 4:Keya

Hi and Welcome! You've certainly come to the right place.
Wow, I wish the best of luck. My husband is very scared for me because he knows that I'm not the type of person that likes to depend on people to much. I think thats the hardest thing I will have to over come.
