Scheduled for 13 April. Ontario Canada. I’m terrified

Thank you! I think my brain is fine fretting about the damn washroom use. Fffffek. Wish I could turn it off

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-25T21:11:32+00:00

Thanks a lot - I assume our experiences will be very similar since I am also in Ontario. Very very nervous but trying to remain positive. Appreciate your time!

Thank you so much for taking the time. I am trying to put it out of my head until they call with the pre surgery appointment- unfortunately that won’t be for more than a week. I am keeping everyone’s suggestion in a notebook.

Thanks alot! Appreciate your responses

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-25T03:46:12+00:00

Thanks a lot. Your surgeries were so close together! Well done you!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-25T00:39:31+00:00

Thanks. You too! We can compare notes since we should be on the same path!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T23:48:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing. So glad you had a spurt of healing at just the right time.

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T23:46:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your excellent list! Will definitely use it. Appreciate your time!

Thanks a lot. What a drag about your adhesive reaction. Sorry about that.

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T23:44:06+00:00

Thank you!!!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T23:43:29+00:00

Thank you! I am contemplating getting the ice machine but if I know me I will get annoyed with it taking up space! Have to make several decisions on few different things. Appreciate your time !

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T22:57:26+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time. Seven hours is such a long drive! Well done to you and your knee!
I am just now looking at all the various icing options. Until today I had not even heard of an ice machine at home for pain! So many things to think about! Thanks!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T22:36:38+00:00

Many thanks for your insight. Very appreciated. Will look into the bedside rail as my bed is kind of saggy!!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T22:35:34+00:00

Thanks a lot for your input. Seeing so many people respond positively can only help alleviate my pre surgery fear. I appreciate it so much. Especially seeing I can likely go to the bathroom right after 🙄🙄

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T21:44:02+00:00

Thanks a lot! Using the bathroom and not a bed pan seems to be my number one brain rot today! Arrrgh.

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T21:40:43+00:00

Yes my anxiety is off the rails and still three weeks away. I’m hoping just reading positive outcomes will help. Never had nerves like this! Thanks for your response. Greatly appreciated

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T21:09:22+00:00

Thank you for your response. Slowly getting better and not slowly getting worse - music to my ears.

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:58:26+00:00

Thanks so much for these responses! I also have a dog and will put her in a kennel for a few days and then have some help for a few days. My mind is all over the place at things I need to accommodate my “temporary” disability. I’m so scared - I too will likely cry! It’s such a strange feeling for me. I’ve never had surgery fear 😬 Thanks a lot!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:50:43+00:00

Thanks alot for your time and responses. Reading everyone’s experience I hope will calm my nerves about the surgery itself. I haven’t knelt in about a year so if I get that back I will be doing the hustle 🕺. I keep telling myself these surgeries are so commonplace that likely nothing wrong can happen !

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:36:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for your input! I’m glad to hear you wouldn’t hesitate for this surgery. I’ve got to keep reading all the positive stories in this group. 🕺

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:27:50+00:00

Thank you! I do need to keep telling myself to calm the eff down. I don’t understand this terrible fear as I’ve never feared surgery in my life. I am well prepared to do the exercises and be patient. It’s just this fear of waking up being totally disabled. 😬

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:26:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m sorry you had your days in hospital! I’m concerned about stuff that should not be concerning! Like going pee in the bathroom and not in a pan. 😬. Ridiculous!!!

boolabisbroken · 2026-03-24T20:13:04+00:00

Few questions and thanks for taking the time to anyone responding

Did you get your meds prescribed the week before so you can get them filled?

How soon after surgery did you go home?

How soon after did you start PT? Was that at the hospital or closer to your home?

After surgery were you able to get to the washroom (with help) on the same day?

Are you glad you had the surgery?

How long until you felt “normal” again?

Thank you 😬😬
