13 days to go until my big day getting my right knee replaced!
I live alone and have excellent professional support; however preparing for my post op care and household functions has left me very tired. In addition, my GOOD leg has become very stiff to the point where I can barely walk. The consensus (nurse at OS office) and PT say leg is victim of compensating for bad knee and/or am"flare". In any event, I'm literally counting the days when I can be taken care of post surgery and not have to deal with all this discomfort while finishing the chores I need to take care of to ensure a smooth. Post-surgical transition home.
My situation is complicated by the fact that I take many supplements and digestive AIDS to manage my IBS condition and must stop ALL herbal products by October 1st.
I started to wean myself off everything today so I can see how to handle what I can eat without the things that work for me.
It's great to know I can air my comcerns and situation with my friends in the forum!!
