Thanks

Yes I will do the exercises . Have already done an 8 week twice a week exercise class pre op designed to get you in optimum fitness pre op

I am still nervous though

Think I have lost some self confidence since loosing hubby cos we supported each other

Still feel a bit lost and unsure of myself at times

You will never regret having it done Shirley. I have had both knees fully replaced and my quality of life is 100% better. All the best with it and just remember no matter how painful do all the exercises you are given <3

I have arthritis in both knees and in some fingers

The right knee has been steadily more painful and I was referred to hospital in jan to be told I have bone on bone arthritis and the only way is a total knee replacement

Was given an op date for May 22nd but asked for it to be rescheduled as we were going on holiday on 10th July that was just over the six week healing time

Sooo I am going into hospital next Thursday 8th for the op

I know it needs doing but I confess I am worried about the outcome and hope it means my mobility will be better

My granddaughter who lives fairly near me is taking a day off to take me in and bring me home hopefully 2days later
She is staying with me too for a couple of weeks after to make sure I will be ok

Can’t help being worried though that it may be a backward step !!!
