I got the scare of my life today when I rec'd a call informing me that my TKR surgery is scheduled for Sept/14 opposed to Feb/15 according to my surgeon when I talked to him in June. Of course, I cancelled because I'll be attending my daughter's grad in Phoenix AZ Oct 25/14 and wouldn't miss it for anything. I was also told that they can only reschedule every 2 mos. so I guess I'll be on for surgery Nov/14 sometime which is even too soon because I'm not mentally or emotionally prepared...I'm still too terrified so made an appointment with a psychologist for Sept 4/14. Through my TKR pre and post op research indicated I have to have my dental work done (no infections) so made an appointment with my dentist for next week as well. I'm getting things done slowly but still full of fear and anxiety. Perhaps, after a few sessions I'll be stabilized and ready to face what's in store for me concerning the knee surgery. Is there anyone out there with similar problems re: TKR surgery? Would like to hear from you. Thank you kindly and appreciate it.
