first few weeks, and do the work. And you know it'll be so much better when you do.

Best of the best to you, and hang in there. You can do it!

Tell us how you do.

Thanks.

but I need to wait until some upcoming trips are behind me. My second knee will be the end for me-- I've done both hips, both shoulders, and one knee.

I know exactly the things you're dreading, but a month from now you'll be well on your way to the rest of a pain-free life! Congratulations! 💥💥💥

Thanks for the support, you’re my hero.

However once you get through it it should be better. I had both of mine done 10 years ago and so far so good. I know how you feel with the pre-operation pre-procedure pre-recovery nervousness. Get the doctor to give you something if you need it, the best of luck and outcomes for you

Thank you for your thoughts.

on your knee replacement. Take care.

as I am also facing my 2nd knee replacement, though mine is as yet unscheduled.
You mentioned the difficulty of getting around, especially with the snow -- Have you considered putting it off until the Spring?..That's what I'm doing..It could be a lot easier for you.

trying to get it done…..I really didn’t think of the weather, I just wanted to get it done, and now, we are in winter. I’ll just suck it up and be so happy when it’s over.

with the doctor's offices being less than pleased, but that said, I think it's best to do what works for you, since you're the one going through the ordeal.
I'm just wondering -- If your husband also has mobility issues, is there a friend, neighbor or relative who can help you out with driving and shopping, etc??

anything, so I might do that.

You do have someone you can rely on, then...I wish you the best of luck with it all.

-Hope u get some good sleep tonight.
- One nice thing- You’ll have plenty of time to watch the Australian Open. 😉

Right, Australian Open Looking forward to it.

she is going through PT now and it's a bitch. I hope it goes well for you.

commitment. Thanks.

start me on the healing path, and it’ll all be over before I know it.

I had my second one done last year. I recommend calling in all your friends for rides to PT, groceries, meals, ice runs, etc. It’s difficult for me to ask for help but I did and friends and family really stepped up. I hope your experiences are as good as mine.

And have a successful rehab and recovery.

We are here for your whining pleasure!

This stuff can be scary. If you haven't seen the videos of the surgery, postpone them until 6 months from now. Trust me on this.

The hardest part will be day after tomorrow, when you get out of bed for the first time, your toughest trip.

Rehab goes astonishingly quickly. When PT gives you exercises to do, be sure to do them. They will shorten your recovery.

yikes, tons of stuff for the replacement parts. Yup doing my home exercises, and will faithfully do the PT exercises. Thanks for the info tho about the video.

Actually doing pretty good......taking pain meds, have started my home exercises, and feeling pretty good. Got my 1st PT appointment tomorrow hopefully I won’t have to cancel as we’re in line for possible 8 - 12 inches of snow. Can’t believe all the drugs I might have to take.......yikes. 3 pain meds, and a few other for other side effects. A ton of paperwork with all the possible side effects. Wow. So on my way to walking, and doing things I couldn’t do before. Thanks for the interest.

Keep us posted on your recovery.

You did it!!
