Will new knees be good enough?

[BigGene]

Welcome home Lady Cruiser.

T-7 for me.
T-8 for Sonja

and counting.

 

[BigGene]

Sunflower, Yeah, I know, I even pumped up the tires, got my bike gear on and ready and then chickened out.

I thought, what if I take a spill and scrape my knee. My impression is that any cuts, scratches etc. on th knee can/will cause a postponement. No way I want that to happen, so I have decided that my cycling days will now all be post TKR.

That still leaves me obsessing over getting to Tuesday. I need a time machine, or a way to sleep for the next 4 days. At work there a some distractions.

Being anti-social and living alone like a hermit is really going to make the weekend a bear!

T-4 and now counting on the fingers of one hand.

 

[kneeper]

Woo hoo! You're almost there. Best of luck.

 

[ruppbike]

I remember the time before the surgery well. It was hard to concentrate on anything at work or otherwise for me. I was the same as you as far as not wanting to mess up anything phsyically as well. Tuesday will get here no matter what you do! Best of luck; we'll be looking for you on the other side.

 

[BigGene]

Yes I will get to surgery and then

I'll be Back

4 days and counting

 

[RestAssured]

I hope they don't postpone surgeries due to cuts or abrasions! I have a big abrasion on my right thigh and I don't plan on letting it stop me! I hope they feel the same way!:biggrin:

 

[NaNaKnees]

Best of luck Gene and Sonja. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Before you know it, you will be reporting your recovery stories to us here. Take care and find something fun to do for the next couple of days. Hope we hear from you very soon.

[BigGene]

I'd like to hibernate and wake up when it's over.

T-2 and counting.

 

[Josephine]

Now wouldn't that be great! But then you'd only transfer your wobbly time until before the hibernation starts!

 

[SportHog]

Good Luck Gene! You won't regret it.

Cheers, Ross :ccheers: :beer2:

 

[referee54]

Best of luck to you---you be amazed at how great you feel after everything is complete. It will be a whole new life for you!

 

[Jaycey]

All the best Gene! I look forward to hearing your story from the other side!

 

[Coachie]

Best of luck on Tuesday! Hope things go well!

 

[RestAssured]

Gene,

We are getting close to our big days! I am so excited and I hope you are too!

 

[sunflower]

Sonja, wishing you all the best in your surgery and will keep my fingers crossed that your abrasion won't be a cause for a setback.

Gene, this is it! Your hour will soon be upon you and your new life will begin. :biggrin:

 

[JennyI]

Good Luck to you both Gene & Sonja. Will be thinking of you

 

[BigGene]

Thank you all for the good luck wishes. I am ready to go.

I am sitting at work with "ants in my pants" waiting for the phone to ring to give me my time to report in the morning.

I will report from the other side as soon as I am coherent and at a computer..

Now counting the hours.

 

[referee54]

Again, my best to you and I hope that you can get back to us as soon as you can to let us know how you are doing. Cycle on, Big Gene!

 

[kneeper]

Gene,

We are getting close to our big days! I am so excited and I hope you are too!

Good luck for the big day!

 

[BigGene]

Wow, this is definitely for real. Just got a call from the PA asking if I had any questions. I actually don't. Report at 7:30 surgery about 10:00.

Lauch for bionic knee is all GO.

T-12 hours and counting.


I joined BoneSmart on December 11th, today is April 11th. Ther is some sort of symmetry there,

See you all on the other side.
