    Gail, not had a tkr but think your doc meant you could go on anti colagulants to prevent clots. I had tablets after my hip replacement for a month. If its afcecting your life this much. Get it sorted. Infection is always a risk but they should give you IV antibiotics anyway during the surgery. Good luck
