Oh I bet! Just brings it home that this is actually real, doesn't it? But these are all routine checks so don't worry about them. They should explain it all through, step by step.

BTW, I just got my date for my pre-op and it's on the 17th so will be thinking of you!

17 seems to be your number, Jo!! Good luck to you and Vicki! :thmb::thmb:

Good luck, it's going to be fine. I'm a little over two weeks post TKR and the original pain I had is completely gone, now just sore from the surgery. This surgery is really a piece of cake, I've had much much worse.
