Some of you might remember that last year I got a surgery done of my left knee, because of a problem in my kneecups. Well, now it's time for my right knee to go to the surgery room!

I'l have the surgery done today at 5 PM. I'm not nervous at all, but you know... a surgery is never a pleasant experience. The hardest part for me is gonna be to stand the pain and not to be able to move for the whole next week.

I know I'm going to be fine, but could you please wish me some good luck for today?

Natali, I wish you all of the luck in the world on your knee surgery. Thursday I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon because my artificial knee is very stiff and somewhat painful. I maybe looking at surgery on that knee for Christmas! I know what you're going through. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Aw! :( Good luck, I hope all is well! :(

I have something funky with my knees too. They don't bend the same way as they should. For example, a regular knee should bend front to back, right. Mine bends side to side. Are yours similar?

Oh Dear,

I'm so sorry that you have to go through another knee surgury, (however, isnt' it nice that we only have "2" knees)


I'm thinking of you "The Day After Surgury" and Praying that you had a Smooth Operation and will be back on Pet Talk with a Great Up Date.

DavidP~ I hope you don't have to go through it again~ :o

Thank you everybody for your kind words. I had to stay at the hospital until 10 am today, so it feels great to be back home.

My knee is behaving pretty well by now, it only hurts a lil bit, compared to what it hurted on my first surgery. It's really hard for me to move, but I only need to get used to it.

I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday, and he'll take out the bandage and the stitches. I know I'll feel so much better once he does that.

Anita has been the whole time by my side, begging for belly rubs and kisses. I just want to make her understand she doesn't need to do all this!

Thank you again, PT ;)

Natali, I'm so glad that everything went smoothly. It's also great you have a furry, four-legged nurse to help you get better!
