Hey I just checked my blog trafic. I saw a few clicks from this blog and just searched my name and found this. I'm really honored and appreciate this post.. I know it's nothing "huge" but these things are hard.. and just the thought counts so much to me. If you ever need support please let me know i'm willing to talk about anything and everything. I understand.
ReplyDeleteThank you for listing my blog here. Yes, I documented my experiences on my blog under the tag "adventures of a reluctant patient." For anyone about to undergo this surgery, I wish you all the best, and yes, the chances are good that someday, you will be out of pain and walking around. Patience and perseverance are key.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to add that a knee walker is MUCH better than crutches, and make sure you have the ability to manufacture ice on a constant basis (and have someone to bring it to you often).
ReplyDeleteHi am going to undergo this surgery in about 2.months thanks for blogging your experience!!
