I made an appointment with my OS to answer a few more questions I had. Yes, I am a Nervous Nellie. They use general anesthesia with an adductor canal block. He uses the Depuy Sigma Rotating Platform knee. The incision is closed with subcutaneous stitches and covered with an aquacell. I will have a knee drain and a Foley catheter. Markane (?) will be put in the knee. He does use the CPM and does not like ice over the wound, but all around is ok. Have I missed anything in my questions? The pain management starts with MS Contin - we shall see how this works out - I haven't had ANY luck with pain meds prior.
Now, horrors of horrors!!! I will be put in thigh high compression stockings!!! I have large thighs and am sooo worried about the fit. I am also very modest and self conscious about my weight.
