Knees are normally much worse than hips.Plan?They get you up the day after. I was 2.5 days with the hip. 3 - 5 for this, depending how it goes. Yes I'm up and down stairs, but they know this. He reckons I'll be on crutches for about 6 weeks after the op. Play it by ear after that.
I'm in for the double knee replacement on 5th March

the wrong legs thing isn't funny. Still remember when i was having my kidney removed one of the operating team came to see me on the ward in the morning of the op and he looked at his notes & went
"so we're whipping out your right kidney"
me "God no ,it's the right one
Him " oh are you sure"
Me " course i'm ****ing sure"
he went away to check then came back and said "think it best if we use marker pen to identify which one " and promptly drew on me.
Trust me the first think i did on coming round was check where the wound was.

I was an Officer so it didn't really matter as the Sarge deffo knew which was which.
It's getting that way.
My mate in Oz (best man at my wedding) emailed me this morning. He called before Christmas and said the next time he's over on business, he'll come up here and he'd like to go to Liverpool. He's from Beaconsfield, but his old feller was from the Pool. He gets here on 9th March, 4 days after the op. I haven't seen the ****er in 4 years - typical
Get a wheelchair and tell him to wheel you about. Just don't go near the docks.
