Good news!

You will remember I wrote two weeks' ago when i had just had my op cancelled the afternoon before due to an emergency.   Well they gave me another date one month on in the second week in December, which I was pleased I had another date but slightly miffed it was two weeks before Christmas.

Well Monday afternoon I had a phonecall to say someone had cancelled for this Friday, and if we were prepared to drive over to Manchester yesterday for my pre-op - my third to date I could have the slot.   (My previous pre op had expired by 4 days.)  So off we went was declared fit and now looking forward (wish I was) to Friday.

At lease hopefully I will feel more up to Christmas at four weeks post op.

Oh Angela that's BRILLIANT news! And short notice so not too long to panic!

All the very best of luck, and you never know, if you're at Physio in Derby I might see you there 🙋

Angela that's fabulous news and in 2 days!

I just phoned my Consultant's secretary to make sure I was still on the list and she said they will send me my pre op assesment soon.

Good luck!

Really pleased to hear that, Angela.

Not too long to worry about it now.

I had my first TKR in Dec 2012 and came out the week before Christmas.  The only downside was the weather, when trying to get out and exercise.  I live on my own, so my 87 year-old Dad was trying to do odd bits of shopping for me, and I had my first Physio appt on New Year's Eve.

Hope that it goes well.  Let us know as soon as you're feeling up to it.
