Knee Manipulation Needed!!!

[Guest guest]

I just received a call from my OS's assistant that I have to have my

knee manipulated on Tuesday morning. I am so upset!! I told her I

feel like such a failure. She said they know I'm trying my best, doing

my PT and everything. But because of my 3 prior surgeries, and all the

hardware they had to remove during my TKR that it is more difficult for

me to get the bend I'm needing. Now I have scar tissue built up. But

she says I'll be amazed at the bend I'll be able to have afterwards. I

sure hope so.......

I'll be put under with gas for the process, and will be pretty sore

afterwards she says. I don't know how long till I'll be back going to

PT. I forgot to ask that part. Tomorrow I have to go for another pre-

op, no blood work or EKG though.

I am just not taking this too well
