I'm falling apart!
I went to see the specialist this morning about my knee and I have to have a replacement at the end of May
I then had to have the pre-op assessment.
My B/P was so high that they then did an ECG
Luckily it was ok.Then I pee'd in a pot and it indicated that I have a wee infection
So I went in with a sore knee and came out with two other things.
Lets hope the op is worth it

Getting old is a nightmare, I never expected it to be like this. I seem to have so many problems at the moment I have to pinch myself to make sure I am still alive every morning 
Good luck with the replacement, I am sure you will emerge a new woman

Seriously, I hope all goes well and that you'll be able to move like a bionic woman after this op.

I have seen the pictures from my Arthroscopy, not a shred of cartiledge left behind my patella.
Everything has been fully explained.
Vicki, I agree but all the pains are better then the alternative
If I can feel the pain then I am still here

I keep thinking what else can go wrong with my body...so nice to hear I'm not the only one I need both knees replacing but am putting it off...I'll be watching your progress with interest.
Hope everything sorts itself out and the op goes smoothly xxx

I loved the way my consultant explained how bad my knee was. He just said its bug.ered.
plain and simple.
A knee replacement is the next step for me too.
