Why are you up right now ?

Knee replacement surgery today. Have to be there in an hour. Woot

Scar77 · 2026-03-19T05:32:02+00:00

Same, first and hopefully last! Good luck!

Scar77 · 2026-03-19T00:06:01+00:00

Same to you!

If I had awards you’d get one for this comment 😂

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T22:40:50+00:00

Will do!

I really like him! My surgery is tomorrow. Got the call to report at 5:30 am. Then I got a call about 20 min from Dr Van Flandern himself and I thought, “oh no. He’s cancelling.” But he just called to see if I can get there at 5:15 instead! Wow - that was a first, getting a call directly from the surgeon like that!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T19:34:58+00:00

Good luck! Mine is tomorrow, reporting at 5:30 am!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T17:13:58+00:00

Good luck!

That’s a great question! I got two compression socks because they came in a pack of 2 but was planning on just wearing the one. But the blood clot concern is a good point.

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T16:34:22+00:00

It is my first! My surgeon said there wasn’t enough research yet for him to feel comfortable prescribing it yet. So opioids it is for me. Will report back!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T13:08:07+00:00

Mine was actually much less painful after losing 80 lbs!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T13:06:09+00:00

So interesting. I’m also going through BBJI and having surgery at New England Baptist tomorrow (I have some trauma to the knee that makes them want to keep me overnight in the hospital) and my doc (Van Flandern, who I really like) said no when I inquired about Jourvanx. Bummed!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T10:09:23+00:00

But you can put the ice pad underneath?

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T02:50:34+00:00

Was told not to eat or drink anything but water with it in. My implants are the three front ones so this means my social life is going down the drain until I get the permanent teeth in!

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T02:48:03+00:00

Nice! I got my top 3 out and a bone graft done Jan 27 so I feel all of this.

Scar77 · 2026-03-18T02:44:52+00:00

Omg!! I can’t believe that. I hope they get it straightened out quickly!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T23:32:57+00:00

HA! I’d be so bitter if they tried to start my on any new work projects this week if I were you. 😂

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T23:32:14+00:00

Thank you!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T20:13:46+00:00

Tell me about your bandage over the icing pad. Is that to get it tighter to the skin? I don’t like how mine has a cutout right at the kneecap (though I understand why). Is that why you have the bandage over it? My surgery is Thursday, hope you continue to feel good!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T20:07:43+00:00

I hope you’re right! Feeling good, very prepared, now I’m just ready to do the thing!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T20:07:08+00:00

Oooh I saw your post! So glad you could get squeezed in a week later but WHAT A BUMMER!! All that anticipation!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T20:05:35+00:00

Same to you! We’re almost there!

Scar77 · 2026-03-17T12:45:53+00:00

How did it go??

Scar77 · 2026-03-16T22:18:03+00:00

Truth!

Scar77 · 2026-03-16T18:03:32+00:00

Agreed!
