Well today I find out what the next chapter in the L knee saga is going to be. My appt is at 130pm and here it is 1145am. Saying that I am nervous is an understatement, I think I am somewhat prepared for the worst case but still nerves of steel are now nerves of mush!! The implant part is not a big deal what scares me is fixing the bone loss. Will it be one surgery or two what about recovery etc ? So yes I have been thru TKR's scopes partials this is all new and right now I am as nervous as most of you when you went in for your TKR. I did decide depending on what the Specialist says it may be time for a few cold beers when I get home. Cold beer on a hot day to me it sounds like a good way to feel better depending on what I am told.

    I go in tomorrow to see the fate of my knee. Had surgery on March 23rd (TKR) Friday will be 8 weeks and I still can't bend my knee. At 97 degrees they want me to get to 120-140 but its been a major ordeal to get to 97.For the last 8 weeks I have not had one day that I did not have pain. It his sounding like I will have to be put under and they will go in and bend the knee for me. So i feel you being nervous. Not only nervous but scared. You hang in there and i hope you get the answers you need.
