OT knee replacement surgery

Good luck for tomorrow mate, hope you go down early to theatre, when
I had my knee done & hip done I went in hospital for 7 am, but did not get
down to theatre until after 4 pm, take something to read with you,
my knee replacement operation took two and a half hours, all operations with
spinal injection, better than being put under, you recover a lot better, & feel better.

Anyway I'm encouraged by what I've read on here and by other people's accounts. Cheers fellas you're a decent bunch

Good luck with the op Gazza, you won't regret it UTM

Well they took me in at 12 noon, and It was done by 2pm. That's the whole procedure, spinal anaesthetic and surgery. After a short stay in recovery unit, they wheeled me. Through to Keppel Ward where I now lay in agony lol, but as far as I can tell everything went well. The tough bit starts now.

Well done pal on everything going okay for you. Like you say, now the rehab begins, and the friggin pain when the pain killers wear off.:(

No pain..no gain Hazza lol..
Stick at it and do as you’re told, all will be ok.

The trammadol will ease the pain gazza, it will also space you out lol but it certainly did the job for me, good luck with the recovery pal.

So you're not going to the match?

Glad everything went OK, do what physio tells you, plus do the exercises at home, you will properly be sent to Badsley moor lane, one on one phsio, where has a hip job you are in a group, dont over do it, silly me went digging garden to early and loosened the pin into shin bone.

Hazza, delighted the surgery went well.Wishing you a speedy recovery .

From what I can gather mate, you have got the right attitude and I am backing the healing, physio process to be a success.

So far so good, gradually feeling better and stronger each day. Today done some light physio, bending, straightening and lifting the leg which I did OK.been up and about the ward on crutches too. Tomorrow I'm doing stairs. Still badly swollen, stiff and not easy to move but I'm happy with it, I do feel I will get the best out this. As the physios say, you only get out what you put in.
And Rotherham won in my absence so all is well 😀
