Knee surgery??
GL!
I had my right knee worked on a lot in Philly Naval Hospital; 1971; was in there for 5 months; + 3 yrs as out-patient.
Had same knee replaced in 2000 and left replaced in 03
Both hips replaced in-between.
Talk about getting thru airports!
Best advice I offer to all is to do as much stretching and exercising as you can tolerate; reduce weight; follow Doc's advice and keep track of ALL meds given in hospital... was accidentally morphed twice in Nav Hospital.
I have a little Helpful Tips narrative that I give to folks that are facing joint replacement.. #1 is is to have lotts Baby Wipes on-hand for the hospital stay.
Be well y'all!
