Well tomorrow at 8:00am I'll be getting my 2nd total knee replacement..... [View all]
Had the first one (left) done 5 years ago. Really should have had this one (right) done 2 years ago. But issues arose that didnt allow till now, and Im soooooooo nervous not really for the surgery, but all the stuff afterwards. All the PT appts, how Im gonna drive to the store for food. Drugs to pick up from pharmacy for husband and me. Just all the living well have to do and both of us will do it with walkers!!!! Ugh, just dreading it. Oh and of course we get a damn snow storm. Im just so nervous, I want it all to be over and have Spring start. Sorry for being so whiny.
