As many of you know I had a TKR 14 months ago and had and still have problems with it not bending and collapsing on me. My 2nd op is booked for 11 th Feb. for a revision . Fingers crossed it all goes well this time .I am a bit nervous now, knowing whats coming and I won't get any visitors as I'm too far away for my other half to`come see me....... so better buy loads of magazines to take in with me.... Funny thing is I booked that week off work as well

smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles
I sincerely hope that all goes to plan post op this time. You really have been through the mill since your TKR. You brave little soldier. Yep, magazines, phone in good working order and chocs. It will soon be over and you shall be back home.
Of course you are nervous, everyone is before an op but you are having to have an "extra" one, after a bad post op experience so you are bound to be, our lovely babytiger.
You look after yourself, this time round it will be ok,
Gentle hugs

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

Keeping my fingers crossed that things go well.
Its such a pity about the visiting. WEill you have TV and phone....I know they are expensive but worth it.

When I was in hospital in Lancaster a few years ago - broken wrist nothing to do with arthritis - they had a wonderful machine beside each bed where patients could pay for a day's - or a week's - TV and radio including phone calls to landlines. I was in a single room with no-one to talk to and watched more TV than I usually do in a year. The phone calls were especially useful and I didn't have to worry about getting my mobile charged. I would hope your hospital has a similar facility.
Another feature we have are volunteers who will chat to patients without visitors. A friend of mine does this very rewarding work once a fortnight and I'm sure the patients enjoy her company. She mainly visits the long stay geriatric wards but the service may be available in other parts of the hospital. Other than that, I'd advise plenty of reading matter and a Kindle if you like that sort of thing. I'm a recent convert to e-readers hence very enthusiastic about them.
With best wishes for the success of you op.
