So I am 16 days out from surgery. Had my non-eventful pre-op today, worst part, Tetanus shot, my shingles shot site still hurts from over a month ago, so here we go again. Regarding covid: ortho: your pcp does it, pcp: no your ortho does it. hmmm.
So yesterday, my “good knee” gave out. No more walking through a store to get a couple things as my TKR knee gets worse. I was in a wheelchair to get the pre-op and felt like an 80 yo. I’m elevating my good knee and will stay off it for the weekend. It was scary though, I had a great deal of trouble sleeping because of the pain. Makes me wonder about how the home experience is going to be with the TKR knee.
My caregivers are going to have to start earlier than expected and we aren’t quite ready yet. Do any of you have info or suggestions for caregivers ?
