Re: Re: Patty/knee surgery

[Guest guest]

Dear Patty,

how was the surgery? Was it painful, did you feel anything and did they just go

in and scrape it out and did you ever have to do it again. Both of my knees are

bad, and I don't know if he would do both at the same time, but I would be

willing to do both to have it done and out of the way. The doc, thinks that I

might need a new knee, but won't know until I see my surgeon. He doesn't want

me to wait at all and call and get this done. I don't know about you, but

people are actually turning around AT WORK, when they hear me walk down the

stairs and ask me what that horrible noise is. My boyfriend goes crazy

listening to it and my children shriek. It's a horrible sound and the crunching

of the bone is very uncomfortable and this is where a lot of the pain is coming

from. I am NOT EAGER at all to have this done. I have spent way too much time

at the hospital and should be able to buy their new west wing by next year with

my name on the plaque in big gold letters, even if it is out-patient surgery!

Were you awake for the surgery Patty or asleep? I am full of questions, and can

I go right back to work or will I be laid up? This is a huge concern for me. I

need to work. It really keeps my mind off of this disease. This is how I cope

with this. Anyway, thanks Patty and thank you again for all your wonderful

notes. You are a true friend.

Love, Sue #2

Sue if you just have to have the scope and be on crutches you should be able

to go back to work in a few days as long as you dont bear weight on it. but

remeber each person is different. i have needed the replacement since 93 but

i was only in my 20s and the ortho thinks i was to young then we are now just

talking knee replacement and thats only because he cant clean it up know

more. and hes not real happy about doing a replacement on me yet as iam only

34 he thinks late 40s is the best time. but each doctor is different.if you

have anymore ?s just email me privatley iam a pro when it comes to scopes LOL

love ya
