This morning at 11 am, Stew and I are going to the hospital where he will be having his knee replacement. It is a pre-op appointment, where he answers all their questions, gets a pre-op assessment, meets with the physiotherapist to discuss post surgery and so on.
Any questions we have can be answered then as well.
My biggest concern is his pain levels, and how they will manage them after surgery. I don't want him in pain. I also don't want to listen to him moan and groan any longer!
It has been a long road to get to this point. It is three and a half weeks until his operation.
I'm starting to feel nervous for him. I want it all to just go really well, and have him back on his feet and walking 'normally' again.
First up for the day though, I'm off to the post office to post that FBG Runner to Leanne. I also have a couple of things on my list to get. Just boring shit like threads, a notebook, white card stock to make price tickets with... and so on.
After Stew's hospital appointment, I am going shopping for a new dress. Like I need yet another dress! Yep, seems I do.
ONWARD...
New dress! Hopefully very fun shopping!

ReplyDeleteGood luck at the appointment and the dress shopping.
ReplyDeleteFrom people I know who have had knees done, there is a lot of pain post surgery for some weeks. There is often a small period of regret and wondering if they did the right thing. It will pass and it will be worth it in the long run. Get into physio as soon as he can after the op and do the exercises religiously even if it hurts and he doesn’t want to. The more he does this, the faster his healing will be.
