TKR scheduled for end of May...encouragement needed.

[skygirl7]

Hi everyone. Not sure how I got this to come up...but I am about to head out for surgery and I wanted to thank all of you for your support. It is so scary beforehand and your encouragement has helped me qualm my fears and know that there is a rainbow on the other side. My son who is in the military told me remember...the pain won't last forever. I am counting on that to be true. I think my biggest fear is that the pain will be worse, not better from this. But hearing the good reports people post I know this is not true for most. Most people are better and many painfree. So, thanks everyone. Ill keep you posted after...providing I can figure it out.

Hey---Skygirl17---I moved those recovery posts over to the Recovery Section---that is where they would belong now, and that way more forum members can see how you are doing and chime in.

Thanks,

Tim C.
