OT knee surgery scheduled
Well it has finally been confirmed my right knee replacement surgery is going to be done on August 18th (this year). I can't believe that it is finally going to be done. I am working the exercises I was given when I went for my appointment last week and will try to get a little more weight off before the surgery happens. I will still need to have the left knee done but I can handle that knee a little longer. The right knee if total finished and has been needed to be done for sometime but no one was willing to do it because of my weight and height. I am only 4' 9.5". I will definately be a challenge for the surgeon but I trust her and hopefully all will go according to our plan.

I had my left knee replaced 3 weeks ago today ..it isnt an easy thing ...wishing you luck ..doing the excercises before helped me . I am on to using a cane but still in pain and tire very easily . Not sure I would have my other knee done unless I could hardly walk ..we will see how things improve with time .
Be brave ...good luck .

Hi there
As you know, I had my knee replaced in Dec. Absolutely no arthritis pain in that knee anymore, but the other knee is bad and is giving me great difficulty. I found the first week after surgery the worst as far as pain goes. I wish I had both done together to get it over with, but will do the second one in a heart beat.
I am such a wimp and have no pain tolerance so I am surprised I say that LOL, but for the time after surgery with the pain it sure beats the pain I am in daily
Take care
