My knee surgery

FYI, I am going under the knife next Tuesday, 7/8, for R knee total replacement surgery, and will need a few days recovery/rehab. At my age, this is a bit of a risk, but it is essential surgery, not voluntary. My cardiologist says I have a 6% risk of having a coronary during surgery, which is a very low risk as far as that goes, but 6% isn't zero, so... Later, about 2 months, I'll need to repeat for my L knee. 

Have a happy 4th.

In advance, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers on my behalf. "I'll be back," as Arnold once said. "No, it's not a tumor."

I 'do hope it goes well, with no complications.

I'm glad the odds are in your favor.

I hope it goes well, wish you could have avoided surgery, but it cant be avoided, as you say.

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated. Be good while I'm away. That is, be yourselves!

I hope He touches you with His noodly appendage. Tell us as soon as you're good! 

I'll pray all goes well.

I hope it goes well and complication-free.

Best of luck to ya

Hey, surgery comes with risks and your consultant would be being dishonest if they said otherwise.

Just take the rehab steady.

And all the best.

Regards.

Thank you all for your well wishes. Be well, my friends.

I'm pretty sure you will need more than a "few days" to recover.  But good luck with your surgery. 

Good luck! 

Thanks, guys. Appreciate y'all. I'll do fine.

Thank you very much.  Will do.

Hope all went well and you're not in too much pain, brother.

Surgery on Tuesday 7/8 went very well - 3 hours under the knife. My surgeon may be the best in the joint replacement surgery in the region. I was up and walking about twelve feet about 5 hours after surgery with aid of a walker. Yesterday, had two walking sessions doubling then tripling that distance, plus ten separate exercises I’m repeating ten reps 4times daily.  My afternoon session today will do stair climbing exercises and the schedule is to return home Friday. Thanks for all your well wishes, they’re working.v
