The good news is I was able to answer the following questions easily:
Do you smoke? No, never did
Do you drink alcohol? No:-)
Are you overweight? No:-) losing 37 pounds out me back in the healthy weight zone for my height!!
I am only 45 which is young for the surgery, but there is a possibility of partial knee replacements, which would be an easier recovery, and I would possibly be able to do at the same time and miss minimal work. Also, I want to be able to hike, walk steps, and do yoga with no pain/problem.
My appointment is Friday morning, so I will go to work for two hours, leave and then head back. There are some advantages to being in charge, and goodness knows I put in many extra hours both at work and from home!
I am going to attempt to fall asleep now. If any of you have experience with partial or total knee replacement please chime in!!
❤️ Delilah
Good for you on checking NO to those health questions.
As a caregiver I have lots of second-hand experience with knee replacement surgery! I'll pm you later today. Take care and hope you got some sleep.....-
