Saw the consultant yesterday. It's going to be the hip replacement first, which seems logical. It's not a general anaesthetic either. Injection in the spine <yikes> He then said "shall we do both knees at the same time?" <yikes> I'm not sure I like the idea of that.

think most are now done with spinal blocks these days.
i'd get some advice about how restricted you will be if have all 3 done in comparison to them being done seperately.
Try to get advice from other sources as well as the surgeon as they can be a bit blase about it in my experience.

Wouldn't you need to be in a wheelchair for a while either way?

If so do both at same time.

You have experience of mobility scooters, wheelchairs should be no different for you :bandit:

He wasn't on about doing all three at the same time <laugh> Hip first, then knees, or one knee then the other.

needing to use a wheelchair to protect a leg is different from being unable to use either i.e. can RHC lift his bodyweight & swing it from chair to toilet .

Tell him to **** clean off and you want a general. Who the **** wants to be conscious whilst a surgeon literally has a hammer and chisel in their hands ffs <yikes>

A mate of mine is going in for his knee shortly and they've offered him the choice of general or local and he said he'd ****ing faint if it was the latter.

damn sight safer though



though personally given a choice i'm with you as i'm gettin to be a bit of a wuss in my old age.
Though was surprised i was given a general for my last surgery as it seemed a bit overkill but when after i came round and found out what a hamfisted useless tosser the surgeon was i realised why they suggested the general <grr>
