Hi everyone - so glad I found this wonderful site. I've been poring over pre/post-op threads for a few weeks and now my turn is almost here. Surgery is scheduled for 7am tomorrow morning.
I've got osteo in both knees - my right knee has been giving me trouble for 7 years. I have done physical therapy and Ortho-Visc, but both have lost effectiveness in the past year. For me, it's definitely time.
I'm feeling quite nervous and have been keeping myself busy to keep my mind occupied. I know that I'm not alone in this feeling I've never had even minor surgery, so this is all new to me. I'm having this done as an outpatient, so I'll be sure to provide detail on that experience, as I know it's not common (yet).
Thanks again to all of you wonderful people who have taken time to share your experiences. It's really helped me to plan and prepare and I hope I can return the favor.
See you in the post-op forum!
