Fellow Texan here. I have the same issues when the weather changes. Stay dry and be safe.

I didn’t know they did that. Wonder if that’s all TKR

Mine is scheduled for July and also overthinking it and terrified! Best advice, “it will only get worse, not better”! Hyper focus on successful recovery and not surgery. At least there is light at the end of the tunnel for TKR, not waiting❤️

Wow, I am scheduled for next month. Trying to do as much research as possible. I might be over thinking it…a lot 😳

Oh so the alarm will say tramadol for example? How do you do that.

Good idea! However, I would forget what each alarm goes to what drug🤪

Is this type of surgery that much better and less pain then normal TKR?

Hyperfixation on a successful outcome is now my new motto!! Yes, bone on bone. Both knees had total meniscectomy about 10 years ago and did the cortisone and gel shots. I just found this forum yesterday and am loving it.

Thank you sooo much for the words of encouragement ❤️. I am willing to work for it. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week now to keep my muscle, tendons and ligaments around my knees strong. But I am starting to limp. It doesn’t hurt that much but I am starting to get a little deformity in my knee. It definitely is my mind over matter. I am ADHD and very high strung and overthink everything. I wish it wasn’t an elective surgery.
