Aspiration in theatre over & done with.
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi all. Yesterday I went to hospital, my theatre slot was 4.45pm - I had to strip off, put those revolting backless gowns on, sponge slippers, had a huge black arrow on my right leg, & then had my 5 minutes in the theatre for the aspiration. For those of you that put my mind at rest re saying I would have a local - you spoke with forked tongue! I had nothing - just the aspiration. My knee has never gone back to normal since the TKR 9 months ago & is hyper sensitive, & I HATE needles, so yes, it hurt! ANyway, I coped, I now have to contact his secretary in a week for the results, & a likely time frame re the revision. And so it goes on..............

On the bright side, it may just be lumpy bits caused by nerve damage!
It only hurt for a short while, & I was gripping a nurses hand!

I went for my 6 week checkup. All seems well except for some slight drainage pprobably caused by the width of the incision and the number of x's the leg has been reopened. As a precaution he is putting me on a weeks worth of antibiotics and daily betadine swabs. With my history of infection he is very cautious
