Hey @Eve7
Glad your pdoc appt. went ok even if you didn't get it all out. Do you see them before xmas again?
I'm sorry that a knee reconstruction is your only choice. In one way it is a lot to go through, but if it makes it pain free then it probably is the best thing for you.
Wow that is not long away. It surely will come round quickly. I know you might not have thought about it, but have you got someone that can assist/help you after you get out of hospital?
No doubt there will be a lot of rehab too.

Oh no, @Eve7 ! So sorry to hear about the state of your knee and the constant pain, and the need for a total knee replacement! 😥
That's nearly 2 months away 😣
Sending hugs and care 🫂💛

Thanks @Snowie @NatureLover I’m sure it will come around quickly but I need to focus on Christmas first.
The hospital rang this morning to book in my pre op appt so it’s all happening. S1’s partner has offered to help and she came with me yesterday.
I hope today goes well for you both ❤️❤️❤️

That's really tough, @Snowie ...I can empathise 😥
I'm OK. Really needed a day at home but my nice neighbour wants me to go and pick up her son this afternoon. Oh well. It's worth it I guess to have a nice neighbour, rather than druggies screaming they want to un-alive us, like before.
Sending hugs 🫂
