Met with surgeon today and scheduled Mako robotic-assisted for February 18th. Hoping things go better this time with a less-invasive procedure. Last tkr on left knee 5 years ago was rough.

Hello and Welcome, muddug!
Only a little over a month to wait until your Right TKR. Wishing you comfort as you wait out the next several weeks. I hope your next recovery is uneventful and easier than your last.
Thanks for joining us! :)
 
We will create a signature for you and note your first TKR as -
Left TKR 2020
Please confirm if the year is correct and if you remember the exact date, we'll add it.
Thanks in advance!
 
Sorry, I don’t remember the date. True be told I’m even a little hazy on the year. At 73 now, time is flying by like a freight train.
 
No worries, when it's beyond one year it's not crucial that we have the exact date if you don't remember it. In your case the year will suffice.
At 73 now, time is flying by like a freight train.
Truth:xmark: The older we get, the faster it seems time flies.
Wishing you comfort as you wait out the next few weeks before surgery.
 
Thanks. Looking forward to being on the other side and starting recovery.
 
With one week to go, I declare on your behalf that this will be a most excellent, restorative, and pain-free TKR surgery. Even the Mako robotic machine will be its best behavior and A game!

Procedures and techniques have advanced since your last TKR five years ago.
This one should be easy-peasy!
God bless you.
