Hi Gloria I’ve had two knee replacements and I live alone.  I went home on the 4th day after surgery and had no problems coping.  It is true that the odd person has problems but the success rate is 96 percent  according to the literature the hospital gave me.  I think instead of spending the time until your surgery worrying, you should get busy making some frozen dinners and making things safe for after the surgery.  It is normal to worry with the first one.  Best of luck and you will probably do fine and wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner. Sincerely Lorrie F

next week I will get my new knee I am still afraid. Yesterday I went to see a lady in the same sanatorium (hosp) where I will be. She had the same. A total knee replacement on the right knee. They said she could go home on day 12. that would have been yesterday. but everything started bleeding and is all open again. she is still in a lot of pain and said she must have had some 30 needles (injections) these last 12 days. and they don’t prescribe her any rehabilitation program yet, not until she’s been a few weeks at home. I am in the same position, no one at home to help. she is frustrated and naturally, I am now more afraid. thanks for listening to my outpouring. gloria in austria – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Three blondes (naturally) died and found themselves > standing before  St. Peter.

Response:

Three blondes (naturally) died and found themselves standing before  St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they  had to tell him what Easter was.   The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast   and we give thanks and eat turkey."   St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.   The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus’ birth  and exchange gifts."   St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.   The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St. Peter said,   "So, tell me."   She said," Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the  Jewish festival of Passover.  Jesus was having Passover feast with His   disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested  Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died.
