Sitting in joint replacement class. This is great, OT is going through all the equipment they are giving us. I thought I had to go buy all of it.

What a long class, but tons of information. If your hospital has a joint class you should go. I'd recommend going sooner rather than right before the knee replacement. Tons of infor on what you need to do to get your home ready, and no question is to small to ask.

That is great!! Normally, insurance will take care of the necessary things and you need to actually purchase very little!

I am glad to read that you found it so informational!

I am starting to get nervous and stomach turning. Scheduled for the 17th on St. Pattys day. Have gotten all the doctors approval and hospital is set to go. Just waiting for the day to get here. I wish it was already over. I have moved a bed downstairs so I don't have to go upstairs till necessary. Got a CPM machine going to be delivered and I have a Bregg Polarcare for icing. Been off all pain meds and my knee is killing me along with my butt muscle. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. I keep reading all the post.
