I had take on both knees last year. Best of luck and speedy recovery .
Did you have both knees done at same time? May I also ask approximate age. Need both done. Just git shots, need to get BMI down little mire BEFORE they will do it.
Not "take on" but tkr!!
Good luck with your surgery ☺
Best of luck for today.xxxx
Best wishes for today, I shall follow your progress as may be looking at a double tkr, my 77 year mum had one and is doing brilliantly, I can't keep up with her..
Good luck. Will be following with interest!
Hope all goes well. Spinal anesthesia is great for post op pain control. Take care. Speedy recovery
A friend now 85 had two tkr's in his 70's....he says it was the making of him & he walk anywhere now...except on sand!
Good Luck.....will be interested in your diary posts.

All the best Derek X
I hope it goes well - keep up us updated!
Hope it all goes well and you have a positive result and quick recovery. X
Good luck with the operation. I'll be interested to read your diary because I'm positive my husband needs a new hip.
I kept a daily diary when I was being treated for Graves Disease (autoimmune overactive thyroid) and that was so useful. On days when I felt awful and that I'd made no progress I used to read through it and realise that little had made a huge amount of progress, it came in handy when going for hospital appointments and when I needed an increase in my thyroid drugs and it's been really useful for helping others in my thyroid group, so great idea. I can't wait to read it.
My father in law walked the West Highland Way after he had his hips done.
Good luck for tomorrow 😊
Hope all goes well. 😀
Best wishes for op.
Will be interested to hear how you get on as I am getting tkr at end of March. I believe mine will be slightly different as I have no knee cap (removed 34 yrs ago) & hence the structure is different however, pretty much the same procedure.
Good luck
Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow and a speedy recovery J
Hope all goes well x

Speedy recovery! 😀
Best of Luck Derek - We will keep you in our thoughts
Best wishes for your op , hope its a great success. I will look out for future updates 😀
Good luck with the operation and recuperation afterwards. The diary is a great idea. I wrote one after my tkr a few years ago and it proved very useful in reassuring another family member who had the same procedure recently as they were worried that their progress was too slow. It is very easy to forget the little milestones in the rehabilitation process.
I would also add to this, physio, elevate, ice, physio, elevate , ice, physio, elevate, ice ............
Probably the three most important things post op!
