Knee replacement 2 more weeks

[ginam]

After 2 1/2 years and a 2nd doctor who took time to find a nickel free replacement for me, it is finally gong to happen.

Whoop Whoop!!! Let the count down to surgery begin

You must be ecstatic!!

Yes and no. I'm starting to get nervous. Probably because I work in the health care field and know what all can go wrong.

Good luck with that one - let us know how it goes for you.

Thank you. I sure will.

I hope it goes well. The exercises before and after are really important.

Yes I know. I couldn't walk 4 months ago without limping and my primary saw and cornered me in the hallway at work and gave me hell for not getting it done that the longer I wait the worse the recovery. She then sent a script to PT. I went and got a cortisone shot which helped immensely and then I was able to do PT. She was passing through PT last week when I grabbed her by the hands and made her dance with me. She was so shocked at my progress and commented that maybe I don't need a replacement now. I wish I didn't but I really do since my knee is valgus and bone on bone.

I'm sure you won't regret it! They're right about losing mobility without a replacement.
